October 3, 2023 | From City of New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell today issued the following statement on the reduction of violent crime in the City of New Orleans:
“The dedicated women and men of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD), who show up every day are directly responsible for the measurable drop in violent crime our city is experiencing,” said Mayor LaToya Cantrell.
"Through civilianization, alternative dispatch, the reimagining of deployment strategies and embracing upgraded technology, NOPD has implemented a public safety effort which resulted in violent crime falling drastically and swiftly, while outpacing national trends. Our officers are using every available tool in the toolbox to help move New Orleans forward, while making it safer for residents and visitors. The NOPD is once again leading the charge and showcasing its position as a world-class police department. I want to also thank the residents and visitors for embracing and re-engaging with the NOPD to help build back up much-needed trust. We know this cannot be done without each and every one of you. Let's continue to build off this momentum and move our city forward together."
