Stand Watch Over the Fallen of Louisiana State Police

Louisiana State Police has lost 27 officers since 1925. 6 were killed feloniously — deliberately targeted and murdered in the line of duty. Every one of them is honored permanently on badge.nw. Every name. Every badge number. Forever.

What Is a Sentinel?

A Sentinel is someone who chooses to stand permanent watch over the fallen of a specific agency. Not for a year. Not for a term. Permanently — as long as badge.nw exists. Your name appears on this agency's page, visible to every family member, every colleague, every person who comes here to remember. You are telling them: I see what this agency gave. I will not forget.

There is no higher act of remembrance on this platform than becoming a Sentinel. It costs less than a meal. It lasts forever.
