In Louisiana, more human trafficking victims than arrests

BY JESSICA WILLIAMS | Capitol News Bureau Editor ​ ​ ​

Human trafficking: State and local agencies helped nearly 1,000 likely human trafficking victims last year. But agencies have made just 75 trafficking arrests in the past three years, Meghan Friedmann reports. A legislative task force is working to address that problem. 


Landry cabinet: Former U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham, a family medicine physician, will be Gov.-elect Jeff Landry's new Health Department chief, while Madison Sheahan, a former South Dakota Republican Party director, will be his Wildlife and Fisheries chief. Tyler Bridges has those stories. 


State Police in NOLA: New Orleans Police Department Chief Anne Kirkpatrick said she welcomes a plan by Gov.-elect Jeff Landry to send more Louisiana State Police troopers to the city. But the troopers have had a complicated history in New Orleans, John Simerman and Missy Wilkinson report.
