Blue and You

This program is a community policing initiative that encourages partnerships between police officers
and our Southeastern community. Officers initiate one-on-one interactions several
times a year by providing water during hotter months and various snack/food at other
times. These interactions lead to conversations and solutions to the underlying conditions
contributing to public safety problems. Officers also conduct foot and bicycle patrols
in high pedestrian area, speaking with members of the Southeastern community, and
hosting community events as a department. Blue and You strives to show our Southeastern community that the Southeastern Louisiana University
Police Department is here for them on both their good days and their bad days.
