A Message from the Chairman: SECPID

The Shenandoah Estates Crime Prevention and Improvement District (SECPID) was formed as a result of Louisiana Legislative Act 442 in 2010.  The intent in forming SECPID was to allow citizens a greater participation in making their neighborhood safer and more secure.  Here in Shenandoah Estates, we implement this mandate through two major programs.

The first program is designed to enhance the security and safety where we live.  It is accomplished through three principal initiatives:

1. Added security patrols conducted by off-duty Sheriff's Deputies.
2. Security cameras at each entry to our neighborhood which are used by the Parish Sheriff's Office in resolving criminal activity and other complaints which fall within the jurisdiction of the Parish Sheriff's Office.
3. Educational outreach to neighbors and their families to inform them of the results of ongoing crime prevention efforts and educational information designed to help us live with a spirit of respect for one another and within established laws.

The second program is to work with the Shenandoah Homeowners Association to help fund worthwhile projects that improve and beautify the conditions of our neighborhood, thereby enhancing the comity enjoyed by all neighbors within the SECPID.

The SECPID Board of Commissioners meets bi-monthly on the third Tuesday of the month beginning each January, with meetings usually held at Jones Creek Library.  Our meetings are open to the public and our SECPID Board welcomes the participation of our fellow neighbors at these meetings.  If you are interested in playing a more active role in our neighborhood affairs, I ask you to contact me so we can explore opportunities to incorporate your talents and energy to a worthy cause.

Larry Horacek,

Commissioner and Chairman, SECPID
