Shreveport has always had a crime problem. In the 80s and 90s, the city was ultra-violent with gangland style shootouts and murders. Then, in the early 2000s, crime dipped a bit. But, while violent crime has dipped in recent years, it is starting to inch back up. While we re nowhere near the levels of violence from the 80s or 90s, I don t think anybody can claim that Shreveport is currently in a great place.
In fact, the recent run of murders and violence in the city caused tempers and tensions to flare at a recent Shreveport City Council meeting. Specifically, Chief Ben Raymond and Councilman James Green had.let us just call it a heated discussion over crime prevention and SPD s plan to curb violence.
