NEW ORLEANS - Police officers in New Orleans now have the option to wear a rainbow-themed badge in honor of Pride Month. The department debuted the new badges Friday. Officers can wear the badges during the month of June as well as during the city's annual Decadence Festival in September. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson received their badges on Friday. Ferguson talked about what the badges mean to the department and the community in NOPD News. “These special badges represent the NOPD’s commitment to diversity and to working with everyone in our community – including our LGBTQ+ members and allies – to make New Orleans the greatest city in the world,” Ferguson said. “New Orleans is a city rich in diversity – be it in our people, our food, our music or our culture. We love, respect and celebrate that diversity, which is also reflected within our own ranks. These special badges are a reflection of that love, respect and celebration.” Similar badges were also recently made available to members of the New Orleans EMS.

Might make it more difficult for someone to get a fake badge.

I love how they had to add a blue stripe.

Always gotta have that blue stripe on everything.

Ironic that blue is missing when it comes to something police related. NOPD can’t even ROY G BIV

NOPD is made up of 70% black women so that would be a bit of overkill. Also anything honoring obesity.

You colorblind baw?


I am pro do whatever the hell you want, so long as it doesn't affect me, but this is stupid considering all of the senseless crime that goes on in NOLA that has absolutely zero to do with pride stuff. I know that they can support both lbtq stuff while also concerning themeselves with fighting violent crime, but this seems unnecessary.
