Title: An Assessment of the New Orleans Police Department Homicide Section: Recommendations for Best Practices

Summary: This study examined how homicides in New Orleans are investigated and ways to improve those investigations. A team of experts in law enforcement reviewed NOPD crime data, procedures, and homicide case files to arrive at their conclusions. The team also conducted more than 120 hours of interviews with NOPD officers, management personnel , non-sworn personnel, and Assistant District Attorneys during the Third and Fourth Quarter of 2010. One of the problems they encountered with the NOPD Homicide division is that they believe the culture is dated, and reflects past practice rather than current models, methods and technologies. The researchers also believe some processes need reengineering, while others need refining. In all, this report provides 82 recommendations to better the Homicide division. But – to quote the report: “The positive point is that most problems do not appear to be endemic- rather, they are resolvable, albeit some are easier than others.” The report also notes in its conclusion that the NOPD has been moving to implement needed changes.
