Officers visiting residents door-to-door to fight drugs
Residents who live in the 2700, 2800, 2900 blocks of Looney and Poland Streets will be visited this morning by members of the Shreveport Police Department and the SPD Police Pastor Program.
The visits are a grass-roots campaign to stop drug dealing in the Allendale neighborhood.
About 108 houses will be covered by officers this morning. Residents will be given names and phone numbers of people to contact if they have information about drug sales, drug use or other crime in their neighborhoods.
The pastors will begin in the 2800 block of Looney. Any media who would like to cover this event can meet officers at that time or shortly thereafter in the area surrounding the block.
