YOUNGSVILLE, La. (AP) - The Youngsville Police Department is looking to increase transparency and communication between it and the community with a smartphone application and a newly designed website.

Police Chief Rickey Boudreaux (BOO’-droh) tells The Advertiser (https://bit.ly/1VI9dM6) the new phone app will allow Youngsville police to keep users in the know about crime and traffic accidents, as well as a host of other features.

Boudreaux said putting out an app and website redesign for the department were ideas he campaigned on, but development didn’t start until about four months ago. Boudreaux was elected chief of police November 2014.
