Anyone with information on Kody West is encouraged to contact MPD Detective Lt. Jason Smith at 318-371-4226 (office), 318-268-1441 (cell) or email at  jksmith@mindenusa.com. All information will be confidential.

A reminder from the Minden Police Department:

Minden Chief of Police Jared McIver reminds everyone that if you put your home mailbox flag up for outgoing mail, it could be the same as telling thieves there is money in your mailbox.

“This is especially dangerous at this time of year because of outgoing Christmas cards.  A safer alternative is to place outgoing mail in one of the blue, U.S. Post Office official mailboxes. They are more secure,” the chief said.
