The American "murderous capital" has insufficient police forces, and will hire civilians to help answering the alarm telephone and obtaining evidence

According to the Fox News Network on the 25th, the New Orleans Police Department is hiring civilians to help alleviate the insufficient police force, so as to send more police officers to patrol on the street to deal with violent crimes such as murder.

Shaun Ferguson, director of the New Orleans Police Department, said at a press conference last Thursday: "Our goal is to make our police officers feel safe so that they can make our citizens and tourists feel safe."

According to Ferguson, the local police station is focusing on recruiting "civilian police officers". Before being hired, they will receive training and background investigations. After joining the police force, they will be responsible for monitoring the police's call and replace police officers engaged in administrative work. Essence The department will also hire 50 to 75 civilians to answer calls without police officers at the scene. According to WDSU TV, some civilians will even receive training related to detective business.

"When we answer the phone, we may need to collect some evidence from the phone. We will send civilian investigators to collect evidence instead of sending a police officer to collect evidence." The police director said.

Local TV station WDSU reports that local police officers will no longer deal with police conditions such as running animals, calling for medical assistance, and car accidents that occur on private land.

Ferguson said that last year alone, the city's police team lost 150 people. The plan to be supplemented by police teams with insufficient police teams also includes trying job seekers who were rejected before.

The police officer said: "I want to tell you, say to those who may not be able to job in the past, I hope you will submit the application again, because some of our recruitment standards have changed." He pointed out that the recruitment procedure has occurred. Some changes, for example, no longer allow credit scores to affect recruitment decisions.

He added: "This measure is also to reduce the workload of the current patrol police and regional police officers, but the most important thing is to reduce the response time." The plan can eventually send at least 75 police officers to patrol the street.

"We will also use our transportation and K9 (police dogs), and our reserve teams. These units are usually on standby and are waiting for being summoned. Now, this situation will not happen again. They will be in some state of state. It was deployed to the scene, "Ferguson said.

Fox News said that the re -deployment plan of the New Orlean police is planned to take effect on the 25th.

According to the "New York Post" reported on September 18, the number of murders in New Orleans in the United States has increased by 141%in the past three years, replacing San Louis as the "murderous capital" in the United States. A police consultant has suggested that in order to "save this city", the number of police officers who perform patrol tasks should be greatly increased.
