At this rate the NOPD may have more officers in jail than on patrol.

"Nearly a dozen New Orleans Police Department officers are under federal investigation for allegedly fudging their work hours and double dipping with off-duty details, officials confirmed Friday.

In response to a Thursday WVUE-TV report, the department acknowledged the FBI is now investigating 11 officers – up from five that sources said received federal “target” letters earlier this year over the pay scandal.

The department confirmed that Capt. Nicholas Gernon, who was tapped to investigate Richardson, found 44 violations of NOPD policy. The department declined to provide the report, citing an ongoing investigation.

Skip Gallagher, a University of New Orleans chemistry professor whose analysis of city and NOPD pay records exposed the scandal, said Friday that the timesheets of at least four other current or former Public Integrity Bureau officers reflected similar abuse.

Gallagher said he’s identified more than 40 NOPD officers with timesheets that together show repeated overlaps in on-duty and detail work or excessive hours. The force stands at just above 1,000 officers.

Does that really even mean anything? The damn DA got elected while under Federal indictment.

Wait what?...a chemistry professor doing analysis?

I'm not knocking the guy at all...NOLA really has no one else to keep this type of thing in check?

Also, why is there a Federal Investigation into breaking NOLA police Department policy? Unless the Public Integrity Division would be investigating and they are part of the crime....

If they are willing to be NOPD and the private details are the ones covering the cost then who really cares.

Fringe benefits should come with shitty jobs.

Probably related to the consent decree.

Good thing they just graduated a whopping 8 new officers from the Academy this weekend. Of course 11-8=3 so they have a net loss if the 11 actually get fired like they should.

Yeah, this doesn’t really strike me as the most outrageously scandalous thing in the world, if that’s all this is.

Some cop must’ve wrote the wrong guy a ticket for a stupid violation. Baw is out for payback exposing all their shenanigans

Do you blame them? All of your bosses are too. Your mayor, the judges, the DA. Nola is just one corrupt shite hole. Even the plumbers. Injury lawyers with the staged accidents…..

Problem is- are they slow to respond because they are busy with their other job? Or what’s the person getting for laying them while they are on nopd duty? What happens when they testify to being somewhere and the defense uses a time sheet saying they are across town to invalidate them?

On the surface there’s a little bit of “whatever” sentiment, but can go south reaaaally fast.
