The Shreveport Police Department is a customer service oriented agency dedicated to serving and protecting  the citizens of Shreveport, Louisiana.   Our mission is to provide outstanding police services by working in partnership with the community and to maintain a safe environment that contributes to the quality of life for all citizens in the Shreveport area.
