Report Finds Patterns Of New Orleans PD Misconduct
A 150-page report from the U.S. Justice Department says the New Orleans police have engaged in "patterns of misconduct that violate the Constitution and federal law."
The report was released Thursday morning, following a comprehensive investigation at the invitation of NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
Serpas asked the Justice Department to thoroughly investigate NOPD shortly after he took over the department early last year.
The report says federal officials reviewed NOPD practices and engaged members of the community as part of the probe. It states that it found violations of law in areas including use of excessive force, unconstitutional stops and searches and biased policing, including racial and ethnic profiling.
"We found that officers regularly use excessive force and retaliation, and in the last six years, there has not been a single finding of an officer-involved shooting that violated policy," said Tom Perez of the U.S. Justice Department. "We found that supervisors failed to hold officers accountable for excessive force, and there are frequently intentional acts that appear to prevent prosecutions of officers."
The Justice Department report also includes detailed recommendations on how to correct the problems, and it commends the NOPD for not "letting the past dictate the future."
