National Night Out will be held on October 6, 2026. The Caddo Sheriff's Office will begin accepting applications for street-blocking permits starting August 17, 2026. Residents in the unincorporated areas of Caddo Parish who wish to close their streets for block parties on this date can apply for a permit.

Applications for the permit are available at the sheriff's north and south substations, as well as at the Patrol Office located at 4910 North Market Street in Shreveport. To make the National Night Out form more accessible to Caddo Parish residents, it is also available on our website at CaddoSheriff.org. You can find the form under the "Community" section by clicking the National Night Out icon. Once you access the page, you can fill it out and submit it online or print it out and email it to us at welcome@caddosheriff.org. Alternatively, you can submit the form in person at any of the substations mentioned above.

Completed applications must be submitted to the nearest Caddo Sheriff's office substation by 4 PM on September 30, 2026. If approved, the permit will allow you to block portions of your street.

National Night Out is an opportunity for residents to take a stand against crime by participating in neighborhood gatherings and crime prevention events.

Sheriff Henry Whitehorn, Sr. stated, "It's a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, show support for law enforcement, and learn what's happening in your community. Criminals can't win if we are united in our approach to fighting crime. We must have a T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More) attitude."
