The emergency declaration in Shreveport has been extended due to ongoing safety and health concerns at three apartment complexes in the city. Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux made the decision to extend the public health and safety emergency for The Jolie, The Pines, and Villa Norte apartment complexes on July 3. This extension was necessary because these complexes continue to pose a threat to the surrounding areas and the residents of Shreveport.
With the extension of the emergency declaration, the Shreveport Police Department has been granted authority to remove and potentially arrest individuals who are still occupying apartment units, camping on the properties, or scavenging items from the premises. Additionally, public works and property standards have been empowered to address health and safety hazards and remove illegally dumped garbage from the properties. City departments also have the authority to take action to prevent or eliminate hazardous conditions that may impact public safety and health.
This extension of the emergency declaration is a necessary step to ensure the well-being of the community and address ongoing issues at these apartment complexes. The safety and health of Shreveport residents remain a top priority, and the city will continue to take action to address these concerns.
