Sudden Impact has officially kicked off the 2026–2027 school year!

Yesterday, Troopers from Troops C and L, along with medical professionals from St. Tammany Health System and Terrebonne General Health System, welcomed students from South Terrebonne High School and Saint Paul’s High School to the first Sudden Impact Louisiana programs of the new school year.

As novice drivers, these students are starting the school year equipped with life-saving information. Sudden Impact, designed for 10th through 12th graders across Louisiana, educates students on the dangers of impaired and distracted driving, speeding, lack of seat belt use, and excessive alcohol consumption while helping establish safe and responsible behaviors behind the wheel.

We encourage every student to make responsible choices while driving and to be a positive influence on others as we work together to keep Louisiana’s roads safe.

On Monday, we honored the incredible trauma survivors and family members who courageously share their stories with teens throughout the school year. Their strength and willingness to turn tragedy into hope are the heart of the Sudden Impact Program and a powerful reminder of the reasons behind our efforts.
