NOPJF PROGRAMS

NOPJF programs support the three key goals essential to restoring faith in the Orleans Parish Justice System:

1. Retain and restore essential human capital

• Continued subsidizing of college tuition for NOPD employees
• Acquisition of essential crime-fighting supplies (including bullet-proof vests)
• Reimbursements for targeted professional training
• Support for community outreach/ crime prevention, including:
• Summer camps for at-risk youth
• Increases in community policing initiatives
• Enhancing leadership and resources to improve justice operations, including:
• Implementation of an integrated information-sharing system (OPISIS Project)
• Establishment of a new, improved crime lab
• Re-engineering DA/NOPD communication protocols
• Creating a new, system-wide evidence-handling process
• Improving coordination between local, regional, and federal enforcement
• Operational reform of NOPD Public Integrity Bureau
