Portion of Louisiana Highway 1 to be named after fallen Vivian officer

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – A fallen Vivian police officer will soon be honored with a memorial highway designation.

Sen. Sam L. Jenkins Jr. announced Gov. Jeff Landry has signed Senate Bill 70, which will name a portion of Louisiana Highway 1 the “Officer Marc Brock Memorial Highway.”

Brock was killed in the line of duty while serving with the Vivian Police Department. Jenkins said the timing of the bill’s signing is especially significant ahead of Memorial Day.

“It is especially meaningful that this legislation was signed just in time for Memorial Day, as we prepare to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others,” Jenkins said. “For the Town of Vivian, this will also be the first Memorial Day season remembering Officer Marc Brock—a son, brother, nephew, fiancé, friend, officer, and youth sports coach who touched so many lives.”

“Marc Brock was more than a badge,” Jenkins added. “Whether serving his community or mentoring young people through sports, he represented the very best of public service, leadership, and compassion.”

Details on a future dedication ceremony have not been released and will be announced at a later date. The new designation takes effect Aug. 1, 2026.
