Oppressive heat will remain in place through Thursday across much of the Four State Region. Look for Heat Index values to range from between 105 to 110 degrees. Remember to take extra precautions if you must be outside in the heat for any length of time.
.@NWSShreveport has extended the heat advisory through tomorrow, please don't forget about pets that may not be used to being outside in the heat!
We’ve received some citizen complaints about traffic driving in the wrong direction down Chandler Street, in the area of Chandler Elementary. There is clear signage and traffic is only open for SOUTHBOUND traffic at this point in the construction. Please be courteous in the area.

This evening, Officer Lira located this lady at the Super C Exxon, on South Henderson Blvd near Woodlawn St. She is wearing what appears to be a pretty new red collar and we believe she may have slipped away from home. If you are the owner, please contact us at 903-983-1559.
On Saturday, we were approached by Pablo, with a special request for assistance. He told us about his girlfriend, Anna, and his intention for a proposal that evening. They had first met at Parks Fitness Center. We put together a short video. Best of luck Pablo and Anna! 🥰🥰
