TANGIPAHOA PARISH GOVERNMENT RE-
CEIVES KEEP LOUISIANA BEAUTIFUL LITTER
ENFORCEMENT SURVEILLANCE CAMERA GRANT
Amite, La. – Tangipahoa Parish Government has been awarded a Keep Louisi-
ana Beautiful (KLB) Litter Enforcement Surveillance Camera Grant to strengthen
local efforts to combat illegal littering and dumping through enhanced enforcement
and surveillance technology.
The $4,800 grant, made possible through funding from the State of Louisiana
and the Office of Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser, will enable Tangipahoa
Parish Government to purchase surveillance cameras and related equipment to help
identify individuals who illegally dump waste or litter, support investigations, and
increase enforcement of Louisiana’s litter laws.
“This grant gives us another valuable tool to protect our community and hold
those who choose to litter accountable,” said Robby Miller, Parish President. “The
addition of surveillance cameras will strengthen our enforcement efforts, deter il-
legal dumping, and help us keep our roadsides, neighborhoods, and public spaces
cleaner for everyone.”
The Litter Enforcement Surveillance Camera Grant Program is available to eligi-
ble public entities with the authority to enforce Louisiana’s litter and illegal dumping
laws. In addition to funding, recipients receive technical guidance on camera selec-
tion, installation, operation, and program management to maximize the effectiveness
of their enforcement efforts.
“Litter doesn’t belong anywhere in Louisiana, and those who intentionally dump
trash should be held responsible,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “These
grants give local law enforcement the tools they need to identify violators, increase
enforcement, and send a clear message that littering has consequences. By working
together with our local partners, we’re protecting the places that make Louisiana
special and creating cleaner, more beautiful communities for everyone.”
KLB’s Executive Director Susan Russell explains the Litter Enforcement Sur-
veillance Camera Grant is designed to help create new litter camera programs and
enhance existing ones with not only funds, but also education on equipment selec-
tion, set-up, operation and tracking.
“Enforcement of the litter laws is a key part to getting a better handle on Loui-
siana’s litter problem. Gross littering negatively affects so many communities. This
program will assist law enforcement agencies in their investigations and ultimately
serve citations to the offenders.” states Russell.
