About InfraGard Louisiana    

InfraGard

Formed in 1996 within the Chicago FBI Field Office, InfraGard is a Public / Private Partnership between the FBI and the private sector, more specifically the sixteen DHS aligned Critical Sectors (http://www.dhs.gov/). Put simply, InfraGard is an association of persons who represent businesses, academic institutions, state and local law enforcement agencies, and other participants dedicated to sharing information and intelligence to prevent hostile acts against the U.S.

InfraGard Louisiana

Founded in April 2005, InfraGard Louisiana is a FBI-affiliated nonprofit 501(c)3 organization whose primary mission and purpose is to support a bilateral information sharing partnership between the private and public sectors for the purpose of protecting the nation’s critical infrastructures against attacks or failure caused by either foreign or domestic threats, and to support all FBI investigative programs, especially Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Cyber Crime.

Currently, InfraGard Louisiana has two major outreach projects, The Louisiana State Police Next Generation Re-entry JSOP (Joint Standard Operating Procedure) and The 2018 InfraGard Louisiana School Safety Initiative Multi-Hazard Toolkit, both of which have garnered national attention. The Louisiana State Police Next Generation JSOP  utilizes a NIMS / ICS* compliant statewide placarding system that allows for a seamless transition through multi-jurisdictions, while the 2018 Louisiana School Safety Initiative Multi-Hazard Toolkit provides school jurisdictions guidance on developing a comprehensive school safety program. InfraGard Louisiana has also been host to numerous (Ten currently) FBI Threat Briefs (physical/cyber), and has successfully conducted three advanced Cyber Security “Capture The Flag” Workshops, commonly referred to as “TigerTrap”.
