Shreveport/Bossier City hold their National Night Out celebrations a little later than the rest of the country, but that's okay, we wants to sit and bake with their neighbors in the heat anyway?!?!? We wait until the weather is a little cooler to hang with the peeps in our hood and  you can tell it's successful by the number of parties that are registered each year! With that being said, here are this year's 2014 winners courtesy of Cpl. Marcus Hines!

Shreveport's 2014 Night Out Against Crime enjoyed huge success and overwhelming participation this year.  At it's conclusion, participants in the annual crime prevention event which brings together residents, law enforcement and city officials, were presented the opportunity to submit packages from their block parties for judging.

While many of the more than 100 registered block parties throughout  the city of Shreveport were well planned and attended, a number of them were selected as stand-out events based on five categories of judging criteria which included:  A narrative of the event listing overall results, comments from guests and documentation of participation, photos of the function to indicate or back up your narrative, sampling of printed material such as posters, flyers etc. used to promote the event, originality of event/activities, and lastly, miscellaneous information, materials or documents that helped to communicate how your 2014 block party against crime was marked in your neighborhood.

Based on the aforementioned categories, the following block party locations were voted and chosen as the 2014 Shreveport-Bossier City Night Out winners for the city of Shreveport.  This year's winners will have a sign indicating the accomplishment and the current year in which their parties were recognized as winners posted in an conspicuous location on the street.  Congratulations to this year's winners.
