After witnessing a rise in the number of murders committed in 2016 and a steep uptick in gun violence this year, the NOPD is taking steps to turn things around. Just weeks after unveiling a new $40 million plan to address the city’s crime problem in the French Quarter and throughout the city, NOPD officials announced last week the creation of a new unit aimed at addressing the rise in gun violence. At a press conference Monday, NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters that the new unit — which currently consists of eight officers and one sergeant — will focus on those who carry and use illegal guns. |

This is the same NOPD who unlawfully disarmed everyone post-Katrina, right?
Oh, yeah... you should trust them NOW. [eyecross] |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
