NOPD News

This holiday season, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is partnering with the NOPD to share the message about the dangers of drunk driving. NHTSA and the NOPD want all drivers to remember this lifesaving message: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Drivers will see officers working together December 16, 2022, through January 1, 2023, to take drunk drivers off the roads. 

This Thanksgiving holiday, the NOPD is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on a high-visibility “Click It or Ticket” seat belt awareness campaign.

This meeting has been postponed until a later date. When the rescheduled date becomes available, it will be advertised.

An off-duty NOPD officer was the victim of an armed robbery that occurred at around 10:35 p.m. on October 13, 2022, in the 300 block of North Rendon Street. The NOPD Force Investigation is leading the ongoing investigation. 

A recent report issued by the Orleans Parish Independent Police Monitor concerning the NOPD response to the incident involving former City Council Member Jay Banks and Beldon Batiste is inaccurate in multiple ways.
