GET TO KNOW YOUR DDD PUBLIC SAFETY TEAM
Ofc. Summer Turner has served with the NOPD for 16 years, and 9 years for the DDD Detail. Ofc. Turner is just 1 of 52 officers that work our scheduled 464 hours a week for the DDD. Aside from keeping our District safe, Ofc. Turner has also led a series of self-defense classes for DDD Public Safety Rangers just like other officers do in Verbal Judo, domestic violence and an upcoming
Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training
training to name a few.
DDD detail officers last month alone responded to 435 Ranger & self-initiated calls and removed and helped over 300 individuals sleeping on the streets with shelters, medical needs or other forms of assistance. Officers for the DDD can be found all over Downtown NOLA 24 hours a day in one of our marked DDD police cars, on foot or riding our newly acquired Segway.

Bike Share Preview Extension
The
City of New Orleans, in conjunction with
Social Bicycles Inc. (SoBi), has extended the preview of the
City's bike share program through March 31. The initial preview was a success and yielded positive results in a short time period. From Feb. 13 to Feb. 23, 128 riders took 235 unique trips. Over 500 miles were biked with a two-mile average trip distance. Extending the preview will allow even more residents to experience the great benefits the bike share program will offer.
During the extended preview, residents and visitors can sign-up and use one of the 35 bicycles to ride between seven temporary stations setup in Iberville, Downtown and Central City. Two additional bicycle racks will be available to end a ride or find a bike.

Register Your Security Camera with NOPD to Help Fight Crime
If you own a security camera in New Orleans, you can now register it with NOPD to help detectives solve crimes in your neighborhood and provide strong evidence to put offenders away.
The New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation, in partnership with the NOPD, launched a new online service called Safecam NOLA. The program allows residents and business owners to register their security cameras with New Orleans Police. The SafecamNOLA project is an expansion of "Safecam8," which was an on-line program that Downtown residents and business owners in the Eighth Police District have been using for years to register their cameras with Eighth District police. The 1,302 8th District cameras that are in that system are now included in the citywide SafecamNOLA system.
Please visit www.SafecamNOLA.com to enroll today.
