The Shreveport Police Department marked a significant milestone as they broke ground on the new West Substation on a 13-acre property located at the corner of Monkhouse and Interstate Drive. The groundbreaking ceremony for this critical infrastructure project took place at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024. This new substation will serve as a central hub for the Shreveport Police Traffic Bureau and other operations dedicated to enhancing public safety in the area.
The West Substation is part of a strategic plan by the SPD to establish a network of substations across the city. This marks the second of three planned substations, with the first groundbreaking event taking place in November 2023 at the 1500 block of North Market Street. During that inaugural ceremony, officials discussed the ongoing efforts to secure funding and finalize the location for the third substation, showcasing the department’s commitment to expansion and modernization to better serve the community.
The establishment of the West Substation signifies a significant investment in enhancing law enforcement capabilities and strengthening community-police partnerships in Shreveport. By strategically locating these substations, the SPD aims to increase operational efficiency, response times, and overall effectiveness in addressing public safety concerns across the city.
Chief Wayne Smith and officers from the Shreveport Police Department led the groundbreaking ceremony, underscoring the department’s dedication to fostering a safe and secure environment for all residents. The construction of this substation underscores the department’s proactive approach to utilizing advanced technology and infrastructure to address evolving law enforcement needs and deliver quality services to the community.
As the project progresses, the community can anticipate a more robust and accessible law enforcement presence in the West Shreveport area, further enhancing the city’s overall safety and security measures.
