Remembering Officer Thomas LaValley
End of Watch: August 5, 2015

Eleven years ago, the Shreveport Police Department lost one of its own.

Officer Thomas LaValley answered a domestic violence call in the 3500 block of Del Rio Street, where an armed man was threatening members of his own family. Officer LaValley responded because innocent lives were in danger. When officers arrived, the suspect opened fire, striking him multiple times.

Officer LaValley was transported to University Health, but despite every effort to save him, he succumbed to his wounds.

He was only 29 years old.

In just four years of service, Officer LaValley made a lasting impact on his fellow officers, this department, and the community he courageously served. His life was taken far too soon, but his sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Today, we remember the man behind the badge. We remember his bravery, his selflessness, and his willingness to place himself in harm’s way to protect others.

We honor his life. We honor his service. We will always carry his memory with us.

Officer Thomas LaValley
Badge #1284
Forever our brother. Forever our hero. Never forgotten.

OFFICER SHOT RESPONDING TO DOWNTOWN DISTURBANCE; LOUISIANA STATE POLICE LEADING INVESTIGATION

At approximately 4:30 a.m. Sunday, a Shreveport Police officer assigned to the Downtown Unit responded to a report of a fight in the alley behind the 400 block of Spring Street.

The officer quickly arrived and attempted to stop the disturbance. While intervening, the officer became involved in a struggle with one of the individuals. During that struggle, the suspect produced a fi***rm and shot the officer.

Despite being injured , the officer immediately returned fire, striking the suspect multiple times and ending the threat.

Both the officer and the suspect were transported to a local hospital. We are thankful to report that our officer is expected to make a full recovery. The suspect was later pronounced deceased.

The incident was captured by the Shreveport Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center camera system.

As is standard protocol in officer-involved shootings, the Louisiana State Police has assumed the investigation.

Our officers willingly place themselves in harm’s way every day to protect this community. This morning, one of our own was shot while attempting to stop violence and keep others safe. We are grateful our officer is alive, and we ask the community to keep the officer, the officer’s family, and our department in their thoughts as the investigation moves forward.
