The NOPD made a total of 373 arrests citywide and confiscated 39 guns over the past 12 days of Mardi Gras.

In the NOPD Eighth District alone, which includes the French Quarter, Marigny and Central Business District, officers made 32 gun arrests. Officers also found and confiscated two additional guns on the street. The gun confiscations and subsequent arrests were a direct result of proactive patrols and a strong public safety plan implemented with help from local, state and federal law enforcement partners. 

"The efforts of the officers assigned to the Eighth District in identifying and arresting people who chose to bring illegal guns to the French Quarter and Downtown area, were a large part of our success," said Eighth District Commander Nicholas Gernon.
