The new substation, to be located at the corner of North Market at North Hearne, near the new Amazon Distribution Center, is about to start construction.  The land on North Market was donated to the city by the North Shreveport Business Association for the sole purpose of a police substation.

The North Market substation was funded by a bond issue approved by the voters in late 2021. Once constructed, it will house Police patrol officers assigned to North Shreveport.

Three Substations to be Located Strategically

The North Market substation will be one of three substations located around Shreveport, covering different areas of the city.  The first substation is currently under construction on Monkhouse Dr. Shreveport Police spokesperson Cpl. Chris Bordelon told KEEL News on Wednesday Monkhouse is about 98% complete.  They are "waiting on a couple of our technical services to be installed and we will be good to go."

Another substation location was recently announced for Southeast Shreveport.  It will be located at the corner of W.70th Street and St. Vincent Ave. in Cedar Grove. Read more about that location HERE.  Plans are to receive bids on the Cedar Grove substation later this year and to have construction complete by the summer of next year.

Chief Smith announced on Wednesday that construction on the North Market substation will start next month, and is expected to be completed in about 6 months.
