Already the most successful, time tested and cost-efficient crime camera program in the United States since 2009, Project NOLA dramatically increased its operational effectiveness in 2023, adding extremely powerful (yet socially responsible) Facial, Clothing, Vehicle & Bicycle Recognition to our Ultra-High Definition Crime Camera platform, which has very significantly helped the NOPD reduce Homicides by 34%, Non-Fatal Shootings by 39%, Armed Robberies by 56%, Carjackings by 52%, and Auto-Thefts by 42% YTD 2024! Additionally, Project NOLA has helped NOPD Homicide dramatically increase their YTD 2024 case clearance/ solve rate to an amazing 74% (compared to National Average of 52%) and the 8th District's Violent Crime Clearance rate to around 80% ( TWICE the National Average of only 37%), greatly bucking rapidly declining national case-clearance rates.
