The Louisiana Department of Insurance and the Louisiana Automobile Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority (LATIFPA) are pleased to announce the winner of the “Protect My Ride Louisiana” video contest. This marks the second year of the contest which encourages Louisiana high schools and youth organizations to produce a short video on preventing auto theft. Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon congratulates the students in the Multimedia Class at Catholic High School. The winning 60-second video is featured on the Department of Insurance website and will be aired in local movie theaters before feature films during the month of May.

The LDI and the LATIFPA work to reduce vehicle theft rates in Louisiana through the agency’s various educational initiatives and public awareness campaigns that educate consumers on the importance of protecting themselves from vehicle theft.
