2025 07 03 CPC Public Safety Committee Press Conference

The Caddo Parish Commission Public Safety Committee held a press conference on July 15, 2025, to introduce a newly developed Citizens Response Committee Review Information Booklet. This comprehensive booklet provides valuable disaster recovery and response information for residents, businesses, and community organizations throughout Caddo Parish. The committee, formed by resolution in 2024, included commissioners, citizens, and various local agencies such as the Shreveport Police Department, Caddo Sheriff's Department, and utility providers. The booklet contains emergency contact information, safety tips, and resources to assist citizens during disasters, with plans for ongoing updates. While no specific procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed, the meeting highlighted collaboration among multiple public safety and utility partners and mentioned a grant application related to water quality improvements. The committee encouraged residents to sign up for emergency alerts and distribute the booklet widely to enhance community preparedness.
