SPD’s new armored vehicle makes immediate impact

The Shreveport Police Department’s newly acquired armored vehicle is already proving its value. Early Saturday morning, members of the Special Response Team utilized the vehicle during a high-risk operation, safely apprehending three individuals connected to an overnight double homicide—without incident.
 
This critical tool enhances officer and community safety in high-risk scenarios. SPD expressed its gratitude to the city council and administration for their unwavering support in providing resources that make operations like this much safer for all parties involved.
