Our Mission
Protect and serve the citizens of Bossier City. Treat all citizens with dignity and respect in the performance of our duties. Discharge and perform our duties with professionalism and honesty.
The Bossier City Marshal's Office was established in 1907. Marshal Charles Smith was the first appointed City Marshal. Marshal Smith served his position until 1911.
Marshals policed Bossier City until 1949. Through the years, the Marshal's Office has grown and progressed to meet the needs of the city it serves.
In 1991, Marshal Johnny Wyatt was the first to initiate Deputies in uniforms, marked patrol cars, annual audits, increased training for Deputies, and a close working relationship with the Bossier City Police Department. The standards for the Marshal's Office are held high, and as time passes and our city grows, that bar is constantly being raised.
After the tragedy of September 11th, the Marshal's Office has increased its responsibilities of security and protection. The Marshal's Office continues to train and work hard to insure the safety of anyone in its protection. The Office also stands true to its dedication in being the little brother of the Bossier City Police Department, ready to help whenever called.
