A local business is teaming up with the Caddo-Shreveport Narcotics Task Force to help fight drug crimes, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

SPF Depot of Bossier City recently donated safety gear for agents when investigating methamphetamine labs. The donation included two full face masks, filter cartridges, shield protectors, disposable overalls with hood and boots, rubber gloves, cool vests, and other items. Retail value of the items is $700.

SPF Depot has been in business for three years and has a 10,000-foot manufacturing, assembly and packaging facility.

Company president Patrick Gililland said, “We are very thankful for our growth and feel it is important for us to give back to the community, and this is just one of those ways. We hope our donation serves the Caddo-Shreveport Narcotics Task Force well and keeps those entering hazardous areas safe from harmful fumes.
