NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation (NOPJF) is pleased and supportive of the joint motion from the U.S. Department of Justice and the City of New Orleans to begin the sustainment period of the Federal Consent Decree, to which the New Orleans Police Department has adhered for the last 12 years. The progress made in Constitutional Policing as well as increases in transparency have become a model for police departments across the county.
Although many members of NOPD leadership should be recognized for this incredible accomplishment, the NOPJF commends Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick for following through on her promise to see the NOPD enter its final phase of the Federal Consent Decree during her administration. The NOPJF is proud to have been a small part of this accomplishment in helping NOPD reach compliance with the Decree’s recruitment, training, and officer assistance provisions and will continue to support the Superintendent as needed.
As the motion is made to enter a public comment period regarding the 2-year sustainment period, we encourage those who have experienced the incredible work of our officers and the dramatic decrease in crime in the last year to support this progress.”
