Dear Friends,
There will be much discussion shortly relative to Hurricane Francine and its aftermath. Amid those discussions, allow me to take an opportunity to thank our residents and public officials for the preparation and responses that have facilitated the transition to recovery mode. As news reports showed throughout Louisiana, hundreds of thousands of customers were without electrical power, and flooding was widespread. We have our challenges, but amid those challenges are triumphs, and we are appreciative of all who contributed.
There is still much to be done to fully recover from Hurricane Francine. Please also note that we are still in hurricane season. Remain vigilant and prepared, assuming that there will be another encounter with nature in the form of a storm. Thank you to the people and organizations that volunteered by cleaning catch basins, checking on elderly residents, and more. All these combined efforts were valuable and helped many people while strengthening our neighborhoods.
Organizations have stepped up to help.

CRIME STATISTICS
All acts of violent crime are unacceptable. There is still much to be done. However, the work of the Cantrell Administration and of the New Orleans City Council to fund and support the City's law enforcement, and social services, communities is paying dividends in fewer victims of crime. There is still much to be done. Remember the victims. Commendations to local, state, and federal law enforcement / criminal justice partners. JoinNOPD.
