Police Pastors to celebrate second anniversary
Nothing is quite as lively as a roomful of preachers worshiping God. Unless, of course, you add to that the celebration of the Shreveport Police Department Police Pastor Program’s second anniversary, which is set for this weekend.
Police pastors will mark the second year of the program this Saturday, Aug. 17, in a special ceremony at 7 p.m. at North Shreve Baptist Church, located at 4930 Old Mooringsport Road.
The Police Pastor Program started at the end of August 2000 and involves local ministers patrolling neighborhoods with Shreveport Police officers.
The program has been very effective in improving the citizen-police interaction and communication. It also has helped provide spiritual counsel for both citizens at crime scenes and the officers themselves.
Please plan to cover this event, so residents will know the program is still going strong.
