FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SPD to recruit at Wal-Mart on Pines road

The recruiting effort by the Shreveport Police Department the past couple of weeks will take place again this Friday -- this time in West Shreveport. 

The Shreveport Police recruiting unit will have the mobile command post at the Wal-Mart on Pines road from 9 am to 3pm.

In the past the bus has been at Wal-Mart on Bert Kouns and the Brookshires on North Market.

Recruiting good police officers has been difficult for the past several years, partly because of competition from the Dallas area, where smaller suburban police department provide higher salaries.

Shreveport Police Department is an equal opportunity employer. For more information, interested applicants may visit the police web site at http://www.ci.shreveport.la.us/dept/police .
