NOPD under consent decree
After the conviction of NOPD officers in the Danziger Bridge incident, the Department has agreed to a consent decree to try to clean up the wide-spread problems. The consent decree will be overseen by a federal judge and will include a monitor who will check to see that NOPD is implementing the required changes. LAPD appears to have markedly improved under a similar decree. Although the article does not so specify, it appears that this consent decree is the result of a threat of federal "pattern or practice" litigation against the agency.

Five curent and former New Orleans cops found guilty in the death of 2 on NO's Danziger Bridge during the Katrina aftermath.

All officers face long prison sentences Glad to see the courts sending a message to the police, public and the victims.
