Bossier City Reviews
Rating 3.74 out of 5 152 reviews
Bossier City, located in northwest Louisiana, is the epitome of a thriving city that still has that small town feel.
Once Riverboat casinos arrived in the Shreveport-Bossier area that served as a financial boon for the city of Bossier and the Bossier Parish School District, thanks to casino profits funneled into city coffers, funding everything from new schools to large capital improvement projects.
In less than half a century Bossier transformed from being what many considered the "other" portion of the Shreveport-Bossier metropolitan area into a positive example of how a city can reinvent itself with the right leaders and circumstances.
Along the way Bossier City's Police Department became well-known for its ability to keep the peace, developing a reputation summed up with a common phrase, "Bossier Police don't play."
But with more growth on the way that's translated into growing pains, including increased traffic congestion, showing it's still a work in progress.

It’s a small, closely knit community with adventure just hours away. Hot springs, broken bow, Dallas, and New Orleans!
Bossier City crime rate is really low. The police in the city of Bossier, are all about keeping their citizens safe. One of fastest growing school districts in the state of Louisiana.
