About Us

Located on the campus of the University of New Orleans, Project NOLA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates the largest, most cost efficient and successful networked HD crime camera program in America, which was created in 2009 by criminologist Bryan Lagarde to help reduce crime by dramatically increasing police efficiency and citizen awareness. A first of a kind Community-based crime camera initiative, Project NOLA provides HD crime cameras to residents, business owners, developers, associations and municipalities, which are most often placed on private property facing a street or park. Via the Internet, cameras transmit video to the Project NOLA Real-Time Crime Information Center at UNO, where video may be live-monitored, stored and re-broadcast to local law enforcement. Those hosting a Project NOLA crime camera may also view live and recorded video via a smart device, phone or pc.  For privacy purposes, Project NOLA only maintains camera video for about 10 days and only provides camera footage to law enforcement. 

Communities that host Project NOLA Crime Cameras often see a reduction in crime. When felony crimes do occur, criminals are more likely to be arrested quicker, confess and implicate others, and plead guilty, saving hundreds of investigative/prosecutorial/defense man-hours and millions in tax dollars. Witnesses and victims are less likely to relive tragic memories in court. At-risk juveniles are more likely to be identified and helped. Violent offenders transition more quickly into the state penal system.

Serving dozens of law enforcement agencies across America, we wish to bring the unprecedented success of our nonprofit program to other communities and highly encourage those wishing to learn more to call us at (504) 736-9187.  A nonprofit with a highly proven track record of success, Project NOLA may immediately implement a highly successful crime camera system virtually anywhere for a small fraction of what other solutions commonly cost.

Project NOLA greatly respects and prioritizes people's right to privacy. Raw footage and metadata from Project NOLA's nationwide network of crime cameras is securely stored on servers at Project NOLA's National Real-Time Crime Center located at the University of New Orleans, and is only used to assist Law Enforcement responding to Emergency Situations and Investigating Felony Crimes.  Project NOLA's Proprietary Data is automatically deleted and overwritten within two months, is never sold, and is not shared with third parties outside the public safety community.

Where legally permitted, Project NOLA operates Facial Recognition Crime Cameras installed on private and commercial property.  While authorized law enforcement personnel may remotely access camera video and receive automated alerts when a known wanted felon is potentially detected live on camera, only Project NOLA supervisors may access Facial Recognition data to conduct searches, which are strictly limited to assisting with felony investigations and missing persons cases.  A community based public safety initiative, Project NOLA does not use Facial Recognition to identify or locate individuals possibly facing deportation from the United States or involved in peaceful protests, unless an individual is also wanted for a Felony Crime.

Project NOLA unbiasedly treats all individuals equally without favoring with or discriminating against particular groups.  Safeguards in place to protect individuals right to privacy and freedom of expression include Project NOLA Crime Camera Hosts having the right to immediately terminate their participation with Project NOLA's community-based public safety initiative for any reason they may possibly deem necessary.
