Crime Reports

The Baton Rouge Police Department maintains a “Crime Statistics” web page summarizing crime activity around the city by month and by District. SSCA neighborhoods reside in District 2. For a District 2 report, Click Here. Then click on the subsection of the District to see specific statistics.

Police Patrol Support Update

In addition to annual SSCA dues, you are encouraged to support our neighborhood police patrol. The monies you provide ($30 quarterly or $120 annually) pay for uniformed off-duty BR police officers to patrol our streets, provide courtesy checks on your home when you are out of town and pay for a cell phone connecting you directly to the officer on duty (call 302-0080). If you have not paid your patrol dues, please consider doing so when you receive your next notice in the mail!

SSCA Partners with BR GREEN

Your SSCA is one of a select group of neighborhood associations that has joined with Baton Rouge Green to maintain our unique neighborhood character. We now are participants in "Trees 101". Trees 101 is a project to educate residents about tree maintenance and help them select the proper tree for the proper location. The project is funded by the Baton Rouge Association of Realtors through the Baton Rouge Area Foundation. Want to know more about Baton Rouge Green and its programs?
