Public Affairs Programs

Sudden Impact Program

Four-time national award winning program, the Sudden Impact Program is an interactive, hospital-based presentation for young drivers during their sophomore year of high school. The program presents the consequences of poor decisions behind the wheel while encouraging and reinforcing healthy behaviors. Throughout the day, significant messages are delivered with variable viewpoints by Louisiana State Police, trauma personnel, and motor vehicle crashes. Contact your local LSP Public Information Officer in order to schedule your school for this life-changing program. The program is free of charge.
