Port Allen Launches New Traffic Division | Baton Rouge News

Port Allen is rolling out a new traffic division, starting with the purchase of a motorcycle — the first step in a major police upgrade. Chief Donovan Mitchell says the division won’t be fully operational until late 2026 or early 2027, pending officer training, gear, and certification. Meanwhile, city council is also weighing an ordinance to let Marshal Sonney Massey handle traffic enforcement outside court, a move required by new state law taking effect in January 2027. The council will vote on the plan at their next meeting on September 2nd. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
