Enforcement agents with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) continued providing critical assistance to communities across the state as a winter storm impacted much of Louisiana, particularly northern parishes.

Since the onset of the storm, LDWF agents have completed 32 public assistance responses. Those efforts included helping motorists stranded in ditches and roadways, clearing debris from travel routes, assisting local law enforcement agencies, and responding to incidents involving five individuals stranded on the water.

Agents also played a key role in supporting essential services by providing transportation for essential workers. A total of 83 essential workers were transported to and from their shifts at the Northeast Louisiana Veterans Home in Monroe and the Northwest Louisiana Veterans Home in Bossier City, ensuring continued care for residents during hazardous conditions.

LDWF Enforcement Division leadership praised agents for maintaining professionalism and effectiveness while operating under challenging weather conditions, noting their continued commitment to public safety despite significant obstacles.

LDWF officials said enforcement agents will remain available to assist as weather conditions evolve, emphasizing their ongoing role in emergency response and public safety operations statewide.
