Disaster in NOPD Officer Retention.

I used to say, ‘NOLA is a good place to visit, but I wouldn’t wanna live there’. I can no longer say that. Red stick is sinking by the day.

Democrats have taken over New Orleans, Shreveport and Baton Rouge.

New Orleans? More like New Detroit.

I think the latest thing I read Baton Rouge was in 5th place nationwide on homicides based upon population.

New Orleans? More like New Detroit.

Hahaha man that’s funny but sad. As a kid growing up I don’t ever remember my dad having to go make groceries with my mom and carry his gun with him just to feel safe. Modern day I would never let my wife go to the grocery store alone. Unless she’s doing pick up and doesn’t have to get out of her vehicle you better believe I’m right by her side carrying.

Is anyone really surprised that NOPD is a complete mess? It’s expected at this point.

Yes some are leaving other agencies for Ascension where the pay is above the local average.

It's not just the pay . Sheriff Webre stands behind his folks and spends a ton of money on equipment and training .
