Jeff Landry says NOPD is ‘in shambles’

Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday morning described the New Orleans Police Department as a force “in shambles,” as he outlined plans to return a permanent Louisiana State Police troop to the city.
quote:
“I mean, the New Orleans Police Department is in shambles because of a federal consent decree and a federal judge,” Landry said. “We have to wrestle that away from them, and even if she gave it to us today, it would take a decade to build that police department back up.”
quote:
In the meantime, Landry said he would push state lawmakers, at a special legislative session on crime, to “put in place the funding mechanism to get that [State Police] troop up and running.” The special session is slated to start Feb. 19, Landry said.
quote:
Plans for Troop Nola include a contingent of 40 troopers, sources familiar with the planning say. It would mark the first permanent LSP troop in New Orleans since Troop N, a locally funded troop that policed in and around the French Quarter, disbanded in 2020.
Unlike that operation, which was funded locally, Landry suggested that Troop Nola would operate citywide.
“That troop is not going to be just centered in the French Quarter. This is very important. We’re not here just to protect the French Quarter, ok? We’re here to protect the city and one of the greatest assets this state has,” he said.
Landry gave no timetable on the launch of Troop Nola, saying he was waiting on a plan from LSP Superintendent Robert Hodges.

Louisiana State Troopers didn't sign up to be de facto NOPD when they joined the force. Sending LSP Troopers to NOLA, except for the special Mardi Gras Detail, is just plain stupid.

He’s not wrong.

Concur that the LSP shouldn’t be NOLA cops. The city needs to tackle crime and that involves putting these shitheads in jail.
The other end of that spear is really paying police well. It’s tough and unique in NOLA so you really gotta hire folks that will be committed.
It’s rough on cops when they arrest people and then those convicts just get let out OR never even prosecuted.

Why, exactly? I don't think it will be some sort of panacea for NOLA's perpetual shittiness, but I am not seeing your point. NOPD isn't doing its job or protecting the State's citizens.

Thank Mitch Landrieu. He was under the impression that the feds would give the NOPD $$$$$ for the consent decree. The feds said noooooooo. You pony up New Orleans. What a dip shite he is.

He still identified the single biggest problem, which is the consent decree that limits all actions by NOPD.
Leaning on the DA of Orleans Parish is the next step.

Lol are you scared you'll have to do some real work instead of running speed traps on little back roads?

I’m so sorry that you can’t just patrol the interstate looking for tickets to write.

He’s right.

Well, that’s not what he’s doing. Up your reading comprehension game.

Do they get to use special prosecutors and judges? Or is it just usual suspects?

The Republican super majority we enjoy should pull their weight and put forth a bill granting the Landry the power to dissolve NO municipal government and place it directly under the state

The only issue is highway patrol really do not see the crime that urban police officer's and sheriff deputy's especially in urban areas deal with.
Uniform patrol in the old days before Antifa and all this everyone is special worked with or around undercover officers.
40 Troopers does not give you much presence to do that.
It will be a huge learning curve for some of those troopers.
