LAW ENFORCEMENT: To urge and request law enforcement agencies in Louisiana to use restorative approaches in their efforts to keep the communities they serve safe and healthy.

SR 123 is a non-binding Senate Resolution urging Louisiana law enforcement agencies to explore restorative justice approaches in community safety efforts. It specifically requests agencies to prioritize victim-centered methods that emphasize accountability from those causing harm, while noting these approaches may reduce recidivism. The resolution directs copies to key law enforcement and justice leaders (like the State Police superintendent and Sheriffs' Association) but does not create new laws or requirements. It remains a procedural request, not a legislative mandate, and has not yet passed into law.
