During NOPD’s end of year budget hearings, it was reported that, compared to other police districts, the 8th District has a low percentage of 911 calls.
As a consequence, the 8th District’s budget was cut because its needs were not perceived to be as great as those of other NOPD districts.
To provide a more accurate reflection of the 8th District’s resource needs, if you observe or experience any activity in the 8th District that merits a 911 call, please report the situation to 911 instead of looking the other way.
