Shreveport, LA – According to the police officials, more than 200 officers and supporters reportedly gathered at Northwest Technical Community College on North Market Street to honor officers that have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
Officials said that the ceremony served to honor those for both 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 as the pandemic prevented us from having a ceremony last year.
