New Police Substation to Open in Downtown Shreveport
Introducing Three New Substations
Residents of Shreveport are witnessing a rise in the city’s police presence as the Shreveport Police Department (SPD) announces the inauguration of three new substations. Two have already broken ground at North Market Street and Monkhouse and Interstate Drive, respectively.
The local populace can anticipate new satellite locations along with a centralized headquarters.
Newest Station Located at Travis and Marshall Street
However, the newest station, which is sparking local interest, is cited on the northwest corner of Travis and Marshall Street. This addition is part of the budding city’s rapidly changing dynamics.
“Our City is Changing Quickly”
SPD Corporal Chris Bordelon said, “There’s a lot of new things coming to our city. Our city is changing very quickly, and we want to ensure that our public safety needs are met, which is why we’re going to work on expanding the footprint of the Shreveport Police Department throughout the city.”
Aiming at Decreasing City Violence
The SPD hopes that the launch of these new substations will curb violence in the city, facilitating a safer environment for its residents. Ensuring public safety remains a priority as the city continues to grow and modernize.
Emphasis on Public Safety
The new substations and headquarters are a major step forward in bolstering public safety within the city. With Shreveport witnessing rapid development and transformation, these strategic law enforcement locations can significantly aid in reducing violence and maintaining tranquility within the city.
