Attend City Council TODAY to hear summer plans from NOPD

Date: Thu, Jun. 25, 2009

June 25, 2009


This afternoon the City Council will consider a request from the NOPD for additional funding over the summer months. Police Department management has been asked to provide an accounting of precisely how this money will be used. In recent years, the budgets of our police department have been disturbingly vague, and repeated requests for detailed, outcome-based budgeting has not been provided. We encourage any citizens who can attend today's hearing to go to Council chambers at 2pm. With money tight and crime running high, citizens deserve to hear specific, results-based plans for expenditures that will secure greater safety across all communities in New Orleans.
