I've seen an heard a lot of talk about the N.O. police living in this area for over 45 years. partied there as a younger guy, brought my wifes and kids there, and..
partied there as an older guy.

i came in contact with NOPD many of times. stopped for driving infractions.
asking for directions
just the time at mardi gras alone, you see NOPD doing their thing.

every time i've dealt with them i left wondering, why can't the LEO in my town be
like this. i was treated with respect, and courtesy. in some of the situations if i were in my home town, things would have been way different.

i've always respected them for that and hate to hear that ppl from out of state
think poorly of them. i'm posting this because i was and always have been impressed
with their professional attitude.
i'm not a cop or related to one. sometimes you only hear the bad side of LEO
around the country.
thought ppl should hear from someone who has been there and experienced NOPD
first hand.
