Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office Launches Stop With the Excuses Program for Parents

The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office, through its Community Relations and Crime Prevention division, is launching a program called "Stop With the Excuses." This initiative aims to encourage parents and guardians of at-risk youth to take proactive steps to prevent risky behavior before it leads to long-term consequences. The program highlights the crucial role that parents play in shaping their children's behavior.
Participants will receive practical guidance on setting firm limits, enforcing appropriate consequences, improving communication, and recognizing early warning signs. The class also emphasizes the significance of positive parental involvement and consistent expectations as essential tools for keeping youth on a safer path.
Details for the class are as follows:
**Date:** Wednesday, January 28, 2026
**Time:** 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
**Location:** 1501 Corporate Drive, Shreveport, LA 71107
Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to gain resources, support, and strategies that can make a lasting difference. For more information or assistance, please contact Community Relations and Crime Prevention at 318-681-0869.

A year ago, I wrote my 2025 goals list.

TBH, not everything on that list happened.
Some goals got delayed.
Some are still patiently waiting their turn.

But one goal did happen:

“Write a business plan.” ✍🏼

That single line turned into .

And it continues to grow because of you, the followers, the subscribers, the shares, the local support, and the constant encouragement. This community has become the best part of the journey.

This goal showed up.
And you showed up with it.

I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you for being part of this community. 💛
