Is there a law in the state of Louisiana that controls how much a tow truck service can charge if the tow is ordered by the police?

I don't believe so.
But they typically charge a higher rate for a tow ordered by the police because they usually encounter an angry individual, and sometimes, it can turn ugly. It is a big hassle for them, so they make it worth their time.

In almost all states, towing company charges are set by the State Transporation Department. Police departments usally use the towing company that offers them the quickest service, and is usually by contract with the police department or the city.
