Family member was involved in a pretty significant traffic accident on Canal St. They and the insurance company tried for weeks to get a copy of the report so the car could get fixed. NOPD made excuse after excuse until the family member called me knowing I was close friends with a Captain. I went down to his office and he pulled up the case number in the system. The Officer just flat arse never did the report despite the other dozen excuses they had made. The Captain called the officer to his office and made him sit out in the hall and write the report while I waited. They filed it and gave me a copy.

Point being, no way that report is written already if they can’t produce it.

I told her to raise the issue with visitors bureau and with AAO as well not that it will help much but it’s worth a try.

Or you can call the records office dailly, bothering the hell out of them untill they produce it. I hope she got an incident number.......

Being from out of town, they might not have given it priority......

Good luck.

My God. That's some shite I'd expect in Mexico or some other shithole, but I guess NOLA is nearing that level.

Only time I have needed a report was a few years ago when I was at LSU and someone hit my while backing out. It took LSUPD ten days and I thought that was excessive, but the report got done.
