The Bossier City Police Department has reached a major staffing milestone, now operating at 99% capacity, officials announced recently. The achievement marks a significant step forward in public safety efforts under the leadership of Mayor Thomas Chandler and Police Chief Daniel Haugen.
This accomplishment is largely credited to the dedicated recruitment work of Officer Kenny Gallon and Officer Lisa Roberts. Their tireless efforts have not only filled nearly all department vacancies but have also created a qualified applicant pool for future openings.
City officials emphasized that public safety and officer recruitment have remained top priorities for both Mayor Chandler and Chief Haugen. Their continued collaboration with city administrators has played a key role in supporting and executing a strategic plan to strengthen the police force.
Reaching this staffing level enables the department to better serve residents, reduce response times, and support proactive community policing initiatives. It also places Bossier City among the most fully staffed municipal law enforcement agencies in Louisiana.
The department’s near-complete staffing level is a reflection of its strong leadership, effective recruitment strategy, and the continued prioritization of safety and service for all Bossier City residents.
