The City Council Criminal Justice Committee will conduct a special meeting Friday to question police about recent “high profile” robberies, according to Councilwoman Susan Guidry.
Police Superintendent Michael Harrison will also discuss the department’s strategy for addressing crime in the city.
“The citizens of New Orleans have been clear – they want to know what the Mayor, the Council, and the New Orleans Police Department are doing about the disturbing recent crime reports in New Orleans,” Guidry said. “With this meeting, we intend to do just that. The people of New Orleans need to know that their elected officials and police department are taking this threat seriously, and that we are working tirelessly to ensure the safety of our citizens.”
The meeting is set for 1 p.m. Friday in City Council chambers, at 1300 Perdido Street.
If it’s been more time talking about the crime and trying to do some rather then talking about taking down the statues we might get something done around here
