The Caddo Sheriff’s Office hosted its annual Youth Firearms Safety Education Camp on July 10, welcoming boys and girls from the local area. The camp took place at the Sheriff’s Regional Training Academy, where campers were paired with certified deputies for activities on the firing range, focusing on firearms handling and instruction. 

The camp was established years ago to teach children about gun safety, especially those who have never handled a firearm before. One of the main activities at the camp involved practicing and competing in target shooting using .22 caliber rifles.

Here are the results of the Youth Camp Competition:

1st Place - Jace Whatley

Consolation Bracket 1:

After the competition, the campers enjoyed a special demonstration by the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office K9 Unit, Special Response Team, and Shreveport Fire Department's Bomb Squad. They also had a visit from Life Air Rescue to get a close-up look at the helicopter.
