New Orleans Cheng Cheng's "Murder Capital" Police Department's lack of manpower helpless recruiting civilians to investigate the case

Overseas Network, September 26. According to the US Fox News Network on the 25th, New Orleans was selected as the "murderous capital" in the United States. In order to cope with the surging wave of crime, the New Orleans Police Department decided to strengthen police forces through employment of civilians.

New Orleans recently replaced San Louis and was named the "Murder Capital" in the United States. As of September 11, 205 murder cases had occurred in New Orleans, which was equivalent to 52 murders per 100,000 residents. Based on the proportion of population, New Orleans has become the city with the most murders in the United States. The number of murders in 2022 increased by 78%compared with 2021, and increased by 121%compared with 2019.

Due to the surge in the murder, the police officer of the New Orleans Police was exhausted, and the problem of insufficient police force was prominent. The local police station reluctantly decided to hire civilians to take over some police officers, so that more police officers had to patrol the above streets.

The director of the New Orlean Police Department, Sean Ferguson, said at a press conference on the 22nd that the department plans to hire 50 to 75 civilians to answer calls for police officers to record information. Some civilians will even receive training for investigation to replace police officers to collect evidence. These civilians will undergo training and background investigations before entering the police station. In addition, the police station will recruit applicants who have been rejected before.

It is reported that the police station's deployment takes effect on the 25th local time, and the current evaluation is different. Some US netizens commented that this helps citizens feel more secure, but some netizens believe that there may be hidden dangers of "unprofessional" and information leakage.
