The Louisiana State University Shreveport Police Department (LSUS PD) provides law enforcement services to the campus community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and serves as the primary emergency response agency for the LSUS campus.
LSUS PD is staffed by armed and commissioned law enforcement officers dedicated to protecting and serving students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The department develops and implements the Emergency Procedures Guide, issues campus parking permits, and maintains and enforces university parking regulations. In addition, LSUS PD is responsible for preparing and publishing the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report in compliance with the Clery Act.

The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, prepared by the LSUS Police Department, contains important information about campus safety and security. The report includes details on crimes reported on campus, instructions on how to report a crime or sexual misconduct, and an overview of LSUS policies, procedures, and potential sanctions for individuals who commit criminal offenses at the university.
All crimes should be reported to law enforcement officials as soon as possible, as prompt reporting is the most effective way to protect the safety and well-being of the campus community. If reporting directly to law enforcement is not possible, students are encouraged to report the incident to one of the following individuals or offices: the Dean of Students in the Division of Student Affairs, Student Development and Counseling, or a trusted faculty or staff member.
Crime statistics are provided in compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1998. For information regarding crimes committed off the LSU Shreveport campus, please contact the Shreveport Police Department.
