NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT FIELD INTERVIEW DATA JANUARY THROUGH JUNE 2011

March 12, 2013

The New Orleans Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an inspection of the NOPD’s field interview data (information obtained during NOPD officer stops of suspicious persons, also known as “stops and frisks”) reported from January to June 2011 at the request of the Independent Police Monitor Division of the OIG. Insufficient data prevented inspectors from determining whether NOPD officers were compliant with legal requirements to stop individuals only when there was reasonable suspicion to do so, and determining whether, when conducting stops and frisks, NOPD appeared to apply the constitutional standard of reasonable suspicion equally to all persons.
