The New Orleans Office of Inspector General (OIG) reviewed 90 sex crime related reports that were obtained by the OIG’s Audit Division during the course of a previous report. In the course of that review, the Investigations Division identified detectives in the Special Victims Section of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) who failed to provide documentation of investigative effort and results or who provided questionable documentation in some of their investigations of sex crimes.

The New Orleans Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigated whether the New Orleans Police Department’s (NOPD) 8th District improperly classified crime statistics. The investigation revealed the misclassification of at least 177 incidents during the time period January 01, 2013 to July 31, 2013 as Signal 21 (Miscellaneous) or Signal 21L (Lost or Stolen) instead of Signal 67 (Theft). This incorrect classification resulted in under-reported crime statistics because neither Signal 21 nor 21L is included in Uniform Crime Reporting.
