The Shreveport Police Department Downtown Unit Mounted & Bicycle Support Group recently submitted grant applications on behalf of the Shreveport Police Department (SPD) Special Response Team (SRT) Drone Unit, to assist them in seeking additional funding to acquire essential equipment that will enhance the team’s capabilities and further improve public safety in the Shreveport community.
The Shreveport Police Department’s Special Response Team Drone Unit plays a critical role in ensuring public safety and responding effectively to various incidents. With the evolving nature of law enforcement challenges, there is a growing need to adequately equip the unit with the latest technologies and tools to address these complexities. These grants will allow more drone technology, accessories, and training.
