New Orleans 2022 Crime Reduction Plan
With only around 900 NOPD Officers on active status and the City's pole-mounted License Plate Recognition (LPR) Cameras down since last year, crime is sharply rising around New Orleans. The current situation enables and emboldens criminals and it may take a decade to rebuild the NOPD to again having over 1600 officers to proactively patrol our beloved city. The key to immediately and significantly reducing crime in New Orleans lies in our ability to come together to do what can swiftly and reasonably be done to dramatically increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our criminal justice system.
Operating the largest, most successful, cost efficient and time proven crime camera program in the United States, here is how Project NOLA would like to help significantly reduce crime in New Orleans:
