Federal consent decrees have caused decent officers to flee the department due to the massive paperwork burden.
High violent crime and low pay scares off a lot more applicants.
The requirement that all officers reside in Orleans Parish severely limits their talent pool.

This creates a massive shortage of officers.

Also cops are made to take and pass a personality assessment, a multiple choice questionnaire. If they fail, they are allowed to take the assessment two more times, so the probability of lying is very high.

The City did away with domicile requirements a few years ago. But what you said, along with the City's disastrous takeover of off-duty detail management.

This is a problem the police cannot fix. This is a society problem.

Not surprised. But at least they are a diverse police department right?

Oh, and Officer Antoinette Franks says hey from Louisiana's death row.

Who in the hell would want to join any police force in today's social climate? I read that Mississippi is literally begging for state troopers right now. It's a no win occupation.

Police should be held to very high standards and paid accordingly. Being a LEO should be a prestigious and honored profession.
