Neighborhood Watch Sign
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program that uses citizens, in cooperation with Community Oriented Policing Bureau (COPB), to reduce crime in their communities. It involves neighbors getting to know each other, taking the time to watch out for each other, and working together in a program of mutual assistance. Neighborhood Watch is an effective means of reducing residential burglaries.
Residents can reach out to these officers directly via their cell phones. Visit the Shreveport Police Department (SPD) Website Staff Directory at https://www.shreveportla.gov/Directory.aspx?did=72 to meet your District Officer and establish a Neighborhood Watch.
You can also call the COPB office at 318-673-6950.
