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

Today the OIPM joined with Families Overcoming Injustice in a peaceful vigil. This vigil was about honoring the lives of those lost to police violence, reflecting and giving space, and collaborating on how to stop police violence moving forward. Today, on the National Day Against Police Brutality, we ask that you reflect with us and join us in working for accountability and police reforms.

The National Day Against Police Brutality serves as an annual vigil to mark and remember those who have lost their lives to police violence. It is an opportunity to hold space for these loved ones and to say that in memory, we will demand for police reforms and accountability. OIPM is joining Families Overcoming Injustice to host two events.

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.

The second event is the National Day Against Police Brutality where we will have a vigil and speakers on the steps outside City Hall. That will occur Friday, October 21, 2022, from 3pm-5pm.

The OIPM leadership is currently in trainings abou

The OIPM leadership is currently in trainings about databases and police oversight. We want to share out information we are gaining with the public. These are national resources and databases that are all about policing, police content, and criminal activity that are relevant to the community and organizational partners here in New Orleans. There is much to learn from these databases about trends – both nationally and locally – about how police departments operate, and the individual behavior of officers that are relevant to public wellbeing. While the OIPM has not verified any of the information on these databases, we share them to start important dialogs and inform us to what is happening in the rest of the country and how New Orleans may compare. What do you think about these databases? What databases and web resources do you think are valuable around policing and police oversight? Share them below! 👇
