  • NOPD's stated goal is 1600, a ratio of 1:227 persons.

    The actual ratio is 1:385

    Cleveland, similar in size to New Orleans, has a ratio 1:310. They also state that they are suffering from a serious police shortage.

    By comparison:

    NYC has a ratio of 1:166

    Chicago 1:180

  • Tbf, NOPD don't arrest many people anyway. There's a massive cop shortage, only 944 officers for a city of 364,000 with skyrocketing crime rates. Moreover, they've been operating under a consent decree by the DOJ since 2012. They're overworked, underpaid and under the thumb of the feds so in response they simply don't do shit.
