NOPD News

NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison has been selected to participate in an Executive Leadership Group (ELG) which will lead a three-day public safety summit at Harvard University.

The New Orleans Police Department teamed up with Fuse Corps Fellowship to host a Fuse Fellow for the duration of a one year term. E. Aminata Brown was selected to join the NOPD as a Fuse Fellow Executive Advisor from October 2017 through October 2018.

NOPD Fifth District Officer James Roberson had only hours earlier been part of a training held by New Orleans EMS for officers who volunteered to learn how to deploy naloxone, known commonly as Narcan, to help block the effects of opioids, particularly in overdose situations.

However, while en route to respond to an unrelated call, his newfound knowledge would be put to the test when a citizen flagged he and his fellow officers down requesting help for a friend who was overdosing on heroine.

The New Orleans Police department today announced the launch of NOPD Online, a new online reporting system that will enable citizens to file non-emergency police reports quickly and easily over the internet. The system is designed to take information and generate completed reports for non-violent crimes.

This past weekend, NOPD was out in force in Philadelphia showing off their best practices at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).
