Three addresses that shape a Shreveport search
Most people who look up anger management in Shreveport are doing it because a case, a judge or a supervising officer brought it up. In this city that usually traces back to one of three places, and knowing which one is involved in your situation tells you who to ask before you pay for anything.
The first is the Caddo Parish Courthouse at 501 Texas Street, downtown. The Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office says the parish court is the First Judicial District Court of Louisiana, that every adult case in that court is heard at the courthouse, and that the district judges have split their criminal docket into five sections. If your paperwork names a section number, that is the courtroom whose instructions you follow.
The second is Shreveport City Court, a short walk away at 1244 Texas Avenue. The city's own directory lists a Civil Division, a Criminal / Traffic Division and a Probation Office at that address, all open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with parking reached from Murphy Street. Matters that start inside city limits often end up here rather than at the parish courthouse.
The third is the state's Shreveport District Office for probation and parole, at 2525 Youree Drive, Suite 300. The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections lists it as serving both Caddo and Bossier parishes, with weekday hours from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. People who live in Bossier City but have a Caddo case, or the other way round, report to the same building.
Who has the final say
This directory introduces you to independent instructors. It does not run classes and it cannot tell you whether a class will satisfy anything in your case. Only the court or your probation officer decides whether a program fits an order. Before you sign up, get that decision in writing or in an email you can keep, especially if a City Court probation officer and a state officer are both involved.
If nothing legal is pushing you and you simply want help with your temper, you have more freedom. You can pick a format by schedule, cost and comfort alone.
What classes around Shreveport tend to look like
Listings you'll find through this site fall into a few patterns:
- Group classes that meet weekly for a set number of sessions, usually in the evening.
- One-on-one sessions with an instructor, which can move at your pace.
- Live online classes, handy if you work offshore rotations, drive long routes or care for family.
- Short workshops aimed at a single skill, such as cooling down during an argument at work.
Ask each provider for the total hours, how attendance is recorded, and whether the completion letter lists dates and hours. A Caddo section judge or a City Court officer may care about those details.
Questions worth asking before you enroll
Put these to any instructor you call:
- How many sessions, and how long is each one?
- Is there a fixed start date, or can I join at any week?
- What happens if I miss a session because of a hearing or a shift change?
- Will you send attendance records to my officer if I ask you to?
- Is the online version the same length as the in-person one?
Write down the answers next to the name. Then take the list to your probation officer or the court and ask which, if any, they will accept.
Getting around the city
Downtown parking is the most common complaint. Plan extra time if a class meets near Texas Street on a day you also have court. If your officer is on Youree Drive, a class not far from Youree Drive may save a second trip across town. Bossier City residents should count the river crossing when they compare start times.
Online formats remove the drive entirely, but confirm first that the person supervising you will take an online completion. Some people find that keeping the class separate from home, even in a borrowed office, makes it easier to take part honestly.
A note on timing
Courts set deadlines, and classes fill. If your order gives you a date, count backward from it, allowing time for the last session, the completion letter and delivery to your officer. Starting early leaves room for a missed week without putting you in front of the judge again.
