New Orleans Police Department Embroiled in Corruption Scandal

The city of New Orleans and the U.S. government have announced public meetings to select a consent decree court monitor for the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD). This comes as the department faces a corruption scandal, with a request for proposals issued on September 6, 2012 to serve as the consent decree court monitor for NOPD.

The U.S. and the city of New Orleans received 12 proposals in response, with an evaluation committee formed to evaluate those proposals and select a consent decree court monitor. The committee will hold public meetings on April 2 and 3, 2013, at the Superdome’s Bienville Club Lounge, to interview the top five candidates.

The five candidates selected for the position are The Bromwich Group, Elite Performance Assessment Consultants LLC, Hillard Heintze, OIR Group, and Sheppard Mullin. Each candidate will be allowed to make a presentation of up to 30 minutes, followed by public comments and questioning by the evaluation committee.

Members of the public are encouraged to provide written comments about the process or the prospective monitor by emailing New Orleans City Attorney Richard Cortizas at rfcortizas@nola.gov or mailing them to the City of New Orleans Attorney at 1300 Perdido St., New Orleans, LA 70112. Comments must be provided by April 8, 2013.

The New Orleans Police Department has been under scrutiny for corruption, with the consent decree aimed at reforming the department and addressing the issues. The U.S. government and the city of New Orleans are committed to finding the best candidate to oversee the reform process.

The public meetings will be held on April 2 and 3, 2013, at the Superdome’s Bienville Club Lounge. The meetings will begin at 8 a.m. CST, and the public is encouraged to attend and provide comments.
