How do we pick an effective police chief? What should our police chief search entail? Today the Office of the Independent Police Monitor released an informational tool about police chiefs. This informational tool highlights what New Orleans has done in the past to select new chiefs, trends around the use of national searches and internal hiring, the role of search committees and the national use of community input in these searches. This tool provides data along with examples of how to structure the interviews in order to explore topics relevant to New Orleans and learn as much as possible about the candidates. This informational tool is available on the OIPM website now - https://bit.ly/policechief2023
Check it out and we look forward to hearing your voice on this topic.

Today there was a negligent discharge of a weapon

Today there was a negligent discharge of a weapon at the NOPD academy by an NOPD officer - resulting in the officer injuring himself. The OIPM was immediately notified of the incident. The OIPM arrived at the scene and monitored the Force Investigation Team investigation. The role of the OIPM is to monitor the administrative and criminal investigation, participate in the walk through of the scene, observe any witness or officer statements along with the collection of evidence, and check for compliance with NOPD policy, the Federal Consent Decree, and state and federal law. #policeoversight #nolaoipm #nopd

The OIPM supports the efforts of the District Atto

The OIPM supports the efforts of the District Attorney's Office to correct the wrongful conviction of these three young men who were wrongfully convicted based on the testimony of a corrupt officer who was later convicted of murder himself - Len Davis. The OIPM feels for the family of those who died and never received justice, but it is necessary to correct the wrong that occurs when corrupt officers manipulate evidence and provide untruthful testimony to wrongfully convict. Everyone was affected by the actions of this corrupt officer and the OIPM stands committed to oversight to ensure this type of corruption does not occur and is immediately caught and those responsible are held accountable if it does. #justice #wrongfulconviction #policeoversight

The National Day Against Police Brutality serves as an annual vigil to mark and remember those who have lost their lives to police violence.

FOI and OIPM invite community organizations, agencies, and membership to join members of the public in these events.

The panel will be held Thursday, October 20, 2022, from 5:30pm -7:30pm at Vote-NOLA Office Event Space at 4930 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70125. The theme is “How can we Refocus as a Collective” (Community, Families, CJS shareholders). There will be light refreshments.
