The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division is responsible for providing first-line law enforcement services to the citizens of Caddo Parish.Patrol Deputies are primarily responsible for the unincorporated areas of Caddo Parish’s 900+ square miles, but have authority anywhere in the parish.

Highly trained and able to handle most any situation, deputies respond to everything from loose livestock to traffic crashes to homicides.
Full-service substations are located at 4910 North Market in Shreveport, 9956 Mansfield Road in Keithville, and 11411 Hwy. 1 North in Oil City at Earl Williamson Park. The Patrol Division commander and staff are headquartered at the North Market substation.
Many specialty units are assigned to the Patrol Division and operate out of the North Market Substation. The Hazardous Materials Unit, Patrol K-9 Unit, Marine Patrol, Stock Patrol, Auxiliary Unit, and Reserve Unit are all assigned to the Patrol Division.
