25 years and it seems like yesterday.

For first responders, this day is a mix of emotions. Like any day, it will mean answering the call when others are running away. It will mean courage without hesitation and service without expectation, but today it will mean carrying memories of those we lost on 9/11 and, especially, since that day.

As we honor the 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 and the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice, let's say a special prayer and thank our heroes who continue to do it every day.

"No one hates a bad cop more than a good cop."
*NOPJF in the NEWS*

The New Orleans Police Department consists of more than 900 men and women who are just that: GOOD COPS.

Thank you to the Times-Picayune for interviewing NOPJF about how Chief Kirkpatrick's administration has helped to decrease attrition, increase manpower, and ensure that only the best are wearing the badge.

Crime is at historic lows thanks to the dedication of your NOPD officers. As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, please thank an officer when you see them.

At what point do we start listening to the majority on public safety?

A presentation during a City Council meeting this week called for the suspension of the Drones as First Responders program even though it has been welcomed by the public and already proven to save lives. Let's fact check some of what was presented:

-A call for service about a "homeless person blocking the sidewalk" was used as an example of improper use of a drone by officers....
FALSE. That call for service came from a concerned CITIZEN. Using a drone to immediately determine if the person was a risk to themself or others - and thus requires an officer's presence and/or EMS - is exactly how a drone can aid response.

-Example of misuse of ALPR cameras were cited as an issue...
FALSE. That's an entirely different technology unrelated to drones or NOPD. There have been NO examples of misuse of drones by the NOPD since the program launched in 2024.

-The response to the dangerous underground fire on Bourbon Street during Essence Fest weekend implied a misuse of thermal imaging…
FALSE. Thermal cameras are an accessory only used in specific instances...for example, to identify where a fire has spread in order to prevent loss of life.

-It was asserted that there were other costs to the public not being reported…
FALSE. This program is funded in part by the FQMD as approved by the Council and private donations. DFRs save taxpayer dollars by decreasing response times, creating a better use of limited manpower, and even reducing fuel costs.

-The NOPD was also referred to as a "toddler" by the presenting group....
FALSE. The NOPD is an extensively trained group of dedicated citizens who daily save lives. These “toddlers” are reducing the crime rate year over year and lead the nation in homicide clearance rates. The reference is disrespectful and unacceptable.

Conflating technologies and scare tactics do not help the community or the efficacy of its police officers. A majority of citizens support the use of technology to reduce crime. The DFR program should be supported.

An odd thing that happens when crime drops...

The media is able to cover the incidents that do occur in greater detail making it seem like there is more crime than there actually is.

Giving this perception is not intentional (hopefully). It's merely a product of an industry that has let crime lead the news for decades. Much like our detectives now have more bandwidth to build better cases, reporters now have more bandwidth to cover major incidents with coverage they might not have previously.

NOPJF thanks Pari Apostolakos for interviewing our Matthew Stone about this incident, the news phenomenon, the technology that could aid this investigation, and the NOPD Homicide Unit's incredible 98% solve rate.

Every life is precious and there is no doubt that the NOPD Homicide Unit will solve this one, but we are still encouraging the public to call in any tips or sightings.

"As of Aug. 12, the homicide unit's clearance rate this year stood at 98%"
📰

And it's not just incredible detective work...Everyone is doing their part. Agencies are cooperating and the public is calling in tips.

The 2026 homicide rate is 25% lower than this date in 2025 and light years away from the 280 homicides recorded in 2022.

In just 4 years, that's 400 lives not lost, 1000's of hours of manpower not used, and Millions in dollars not spent on making the community whole.

Because of the community, the NOPJF is able to fuel this effort and:
🛡 Send Detectives to advanced interview training.
🛡 Sponsor the Homicide Unit to attend a global conference.
🛡 Supply the Digital Forensics Unit with hardware to build cases.
🛡 Secure technology like blue tooth printers and tech to make apprehensions.
