First issue is that NOPD is severely understaffed...mostly due to 1) pay is below most other agencies for same work/risk, 2) police officers are overly scrutinized for their arrests, and 3) still trying to work around the consent decree. The other part of the problem is that Orleans now has a progressive DA who refuses to prosecute non-violent crimes. And even for violent crimes, allows the bonds to be set so low that the criminals are in and out of jail in 24-48 hours and then back on the street to continue their crime sprees. Criminals know that the odds are in their favor to either 1) avoid capture, or 2) if caught, be released almost immediately.
