DonateThe LSTA
The LSTA is a fraternal organization representing the men and women of the Louisiana State Police.
Through the charitable arm of the LSTA (Louisiana Troopers Charities) money raised for One Vest, One Life will be used to provide all active Louisiana State Troopers with level four ballistic vests. These vests have the ability to defeat high-powered rounds like those that felled officers in Dallas, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana in July of 2016. This fundraising begins to bring to fruition an objective initiated by LSTA President, Jay O'Quinn and shared with Tim & Karen Lindsey.
Fundraising events are planned throughout the state as the LSTA continues to seek its goal of a vest for every trooper.
