The Shreveport Police Department, City of Shreveport, and Shreveport Public Assembly & Recreation (SPAR) recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new East Shreveport Police Substation at Cedar Grove Park.

Funded through the recent bond propositions approved by voters, the new substation represents a major investment in public safety and community engagement. Construction is expected to be completed within six months.

City leaders described the project as more than just a construction milestone — it’s a commitment to the citizens of Shreveport to strengthen neighborhoods and enhance safety across the community.
