The most successful, time tested and cost-efficient crime camera program in the United States, Project NOLA dramatically increased its operational effectiveness in 2022, adding extremely powerful (yet socially responsible) Facial, Clothing, Vehicle & Bicycle Recognition to its Ultra-High Definition Crime Camera platform that quickly led to the arrest of over 100 violent criminals in New Orleans, resulting in 37% less Homicides, 43% less Non-Fatal Shootings, 56% less Armed Robberies, 49% less Carjackings and 44% less Auto Thefts by the end of 2024! Additionally, Project NOLA has helped NOPD Homicide dramatically increase their YTD 2024 case clearance/ solve rate to an amazing 65% (compared to National Average of 52%) and the 8th District's Violent Crime Clearance rate to over 85% within the French Quarter ( TWICE the National Average of only 37%), greatly bucking rapidly declining national case-clearance rates.
Comparing 2025 YTD to 2022, Murders are presently down by 44% (tragically including the 14 victims of the 1/1/25 terror attack), Non-Fatal Shootings are down by 71%, Carjackings are down by 86% and Armed Robberies are down by 69%, evidencing that Project NOLA has helped reduce violent crime in New Orleans more greatly than any other major city within N. America! In the NOPD's 8th District, where Project NOLA has a large number of Facial Recognition Crime Cameras around the French Quarter, Non-Fatal Shootings are down 75%, Armed Robberies are down 67%, Business Burglaries are down 64%, and Auto Thefts are down 69% YTD 3/10/2025 vs 2024!
How Project NOLA Actively Helps Reduce Crime & Counter Terrorism:
1. |
Residents & Business owners host Project NOLA Ultra-High Definition Crime Cameras on Homes, Businesses, Churches and Schools that are Live Monitored at the NOPD 8th District Station & LSP Troop NOLA's HQ at the Cabildo to detect and engage crimes in Real-Time |
2. |
Project NOLA Facial Recognition Instantly Alerts the NOPD, LSP, FQTF and other LE Partners to the Live Presence of known Wanted Criminals, Dangerous Subjects & Criminal Defendants Violating their Terms of Release |
3. |
When crimes occur, Project NOLA uses extremely powerful Facial Recognition, Clothing Recognition and Vehicle Recognition to help identify and locate suspects, which has led to the highest Violent Crimes Case Closure Rates in the 8th District that are TWICE the National Average! Project NOLA then closely works with local, state & federal prosecutors, strengthening criminal cases against felony defendants to significantly increase opportunities for successful prosecutions and justice being served |
4. |
Crime CONTINUES to go DOWN, Quality of Life CONTINUES to go UP, and the Local Economy CONTINUES to be STIMULATED |
Project NOLA Assists with 2025 New Years Terror Attack Investigation
Project NOLA leads to ID & Arrest of Gunmen within 1 Hour of Mass Shooting

Within minutes of the November 21st deadly mass shooting in the French Quarter involving a carefully concealed 3-member hit squad, Project NOLA instantly provided the NOPD information that swiftly led to the arrest of one gunman 1 hour later and warrants for arrest of others involved. Keenly intent on killing, the gunmen drove onto the 700 block of Iberville directly behind a police car and abruptly opened fire within 1 minute of parking although knowing officers were in the immediate area. The gunmen shot their intended target (who survived) and mercilessly point blank shot a nearby female dead, injuring two innocent bystanders in the process before making good their escape in a silver Honda sedan.
