NOPD has been in over their heads. I've often wondered, what about bringing in some special forces and doing some covert infiltration?

There's all sorts of urban myths/legends this exactly happened following Katrina.


All I heard, 2nd hand (not third hand, but from someone I trust with direct connections) is that some of their friends in the NOPD used the occasion to raid known drug dealers/gang leaders' places, confiscate whatever they wanted of value (jewelry, cash, big screen TVS, stereo, art) and then torch the places.

There is no need to bring in the Marines to kill first, ask questions later.

We already fixed this problem twice. Once in the late 90s and once in 2011-2014.

You have to have dedicated street crimes groups. You have to have NOPD, DA, FBI, ATF, and the US Attorney all pulling in the same direction. The RICO cases made a huge dent in the problem.

But then, because of NOPD staff shortages, we gave up the solution. Now we don't have enough people doing gang work. And the gangs have been able to rebuild.

If there is a role for the military, it is to deputize guardsman MPs and allow them to patrol in the city. That would free up NOPD officers to get the street crimes group built back up again.

I don't see us ever getting back to 1400-1600 officers doing what we are currently doing. We need to think outside the box.

There was also an idea of creating sort of junior level officers that only did things like traffic accidents, incident reports, etc. Whatever happened to that plan?

In tough times why do cities hit their PDs so hard?

I'd cut a lot of other stuff way back before I touched the PD.

That would probably be a bad idea since some marines there recently got arrested for rape.
