The Shreveport Police Department’s Community-Oriented Policing Bureau participated in multiple community events over the weekend in support of autism awareness.

Officers attended the “Superhero Block Party – Light It Up Blue” event at Princess Park, where they interacted with families through games and activities while building connections with residents.

The bureau also took part in the Autism Awareness Superhero Fun Run at Betty Virginia Park, continuing outreach efforts and sharing information with attendees.

During both events, officers promoted the department’s Friends of the Community Program, which aims to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the community.

Officials said the events provided an opportunity to support a meaningful cause while fostering positive engagement with local residents.
