State Police troop codes
From 1964 until 1993, Louisiana State Police troop area codes were used as part of the serial on the plate, invariably in the center of the serial. From 1993 until 1996, stickers were used to show the troop. This was done to give some idea of where the plates were issued. However, registrants who applied via the mail got plates with the "X" code, which was used for Baton Rouge.
| Code | Troop or area |
|---|---|
| A | Baton Rouge |
| B | New Orleans (troop office in Kenner since 1995) |
| C | Raceland, (later Gray after troop office was moved in the mid 1970s) |
| D | Lake Charles |
| E | Alexandria |
| F | Monroe |
| G | Shreveport |
| H | Leesville (eliminated in 1988) |
| I | Lafayette |
| K | Opelousas (eliminated in 1988) |
| L | Covington |
| M | Raceland (eliminated in 1973) |
| N | New Orleans (overflow) |
| X | Baton Rouge/statewide mail |
