Des Moines Police Department Nashville Police Department Wichita Police Department Dover Police Department New Orleans Police Department MEETING ATTENDEES WHAT National Faith & Blue Weekend (NFBW) is a collaborative initiative that builds bridges and breaks down biases through activities and outreach amongst law enforcement professionals and the communities they serve. WHY NFBW is based on the premise that strong communities are built on mutual respect and understanding. Law enforcement entities and faith-based organizations are key pillars of the community, and when they work together, neighborhoods thrive. HOW NFBW is an extension of the One Congregation One Precinct initiative (OneCOP), a program of MovementForward, Inc. which is a solutions-focused, human & civil rights organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. The OneCOP initiative pairs officers at the beat or precinct level with local houses of worship. Similarly, NFBW is facilitated by law enforcement entities, faith-based organizations and the community. WHO NFBW organizers represent every major national law enforcement group and faith tradition in the United States of America. The effort is being co-convened by OneCOP and the USDOJ Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) to organize the most collaborative police- community engagement project in recent history.

  • Court Appointed Monitoring Team to Begin Monitoring New Orleans Police Department Pursuant to Consent Decree
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 16, 2013 COURT APPOINTED MONITORING TEAM TO BEGIN MONITORING NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT PURSUANT TO CONSENT DECREE The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana has ordered the start of New Orleans Police Department (“NOPD”) monitoring by national law firm Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton and a team of police practices experts from around the country. The Court Order was issued pursuant to the terms of a Consent Decree approved by the Court on January 11, 2013. United States District Court Judge Susie Morgan, who will oversee the NOPD’s compliance with the Consent Decree, appointed the Sheppard Mullin team to serve as the Consent Decree Monitor (“CDM”) on July 5, 2013. The Consent Decree followed a lengthy investigation of the NOPD by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division ending in March 2011. The Consent Decree addresses the goal of ensuring that police services are delivered to the people of New Orleans in a manner that complies with the Constitution and laws of the United States. The Consent Decree is “intended to protect the constitutional rights of all members of the community, improve the safety and security of the people of New Orleans, and increase public confidence in the New Orleans Police Department.” As the Court-appointed monitor, the Sheppard Mullin team will serve as the eyes and ears of the United States District Court with respect to the NOPD’s efforts to implement the terms of the Consent Decree. The team will conduct audits and reviews and perform outcome assessments to ensure that the terms of the Consent Decree are (i) Accurately incorporated into the Department’s written policies, (ii) Effectively presented to all personnel through training, and (iii) Actually implemented in practice.

  • United States V. City of New Orleans
    Case 2:12-cv-01924-SM-JCW Document 277 Filed 06/14/13 Page 1 of 20 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CIVIL ACTION Plaintiff * NUMBER: 12-1924 v. * SECTION: E JUDGE SUSIE MORGAN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS * DIVISION 2 Defendant * MAG. J. WILKINSON * * * UNITED STATES’ MEMORANDUM RECOMMENDING SHEPPARD MULLIN AS CONSENT DECREE MONITOR The United States and the City of New Orleans (“City”) (collectively, “the Parties”) entered into a Consent Decree (“Decree”) in July 2012 to address entrenched systemic problems within the New Orleans Police Department (“NOPD”) and “ensure that police services are delivered to the people of New Orleans in a manner that complies with the Constitution and laws of the United States.” See Joint Motion for Entry of Consent Decree [ECF No. 2]. This Court entered the Decree as an order of the Court on January 11, 2013. Order Approving Consent Decree [ECF No. 159]. There is no serious question, given the nature and scope of the problems within NOPD, as well as NOPD’s previous unsuccessful attempts at self-correction, that the Decree is necessary to correct the longstanding patterns of constitutional misconduct identified by the United States during its exhaustive investigation of the police department. See March 16, 2011 Findings Report [ECF No. 1-1] (“Findings”) at 1-50. For the Decree to be successful, the best available monitoring team should be selected. After assessing each of the applicants to be Monitor, the United States found that the Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP (“Sheppard Mullin”) Team, far more than any other candidate, possesses the necessary qualifications to effectively and efficiently guide NOPD’s implementation of the Decree.

  • Introduction
    Introduction More than ten years after the worst disaster to befall any U.S. city in American history—necessitating the almost total evacuation of the population—the City of New Orleans has exceeded expectations in population recovery. 1 By the end of 2015, the city had regained nearly 86% of its pre-Katrina population, with nearly 390,000 people calling the city home.1 More than half of neighborhoods have recovered over 90 percent of the population they had before the levees failed.2 Only four neighborhoods have less than half the population they had prior to Katrina; the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the City’s most damaged neighborhoods; and three neighborhoods which include three public housing sites that have been demolished to make way for new mixed–income housing.3 Despite the City’s remarkable population recovery, there are still challenges that remain as we shift our focus from recovery to resilience. This chapter describes the post-World War II demographic and land use trends that shaped the New Orleans of today. This period in New Orleans’ history is part of a larger story of urban decline which lasted through the 1990s and affected all American cities—and the beginning of an urban renaissance that gathered steam in the early 2000s and continues today. New Orleans was part of this story, including the beginnings of urban renaissance, in its own way and based on its own history. While Hurricane Katrina and the failure of the levee system severely impacted the progress of the City, more than 10 years after the storm the City has overcome many challenges.

  • TRAVEL in INDIANA LONG AGO – PART II RIVER BOATS Pioneer
    TRAVEL IN INDIANA LONG AGO – PART II RIVER BOATS Pioneer families, with their household furniture and sometimes with a few cows, hogs, and chickens, floated down the Ohio River on flatboats to find new homes in Indiana. Early settlers sent their farm crops to market on flatboats. Sometimes the boats went as far as New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Abraham Lincoln once made a trip from Rockport to New Orleans on a flatboat loaded with tobacco. A steamboat appeared on the Ohio River for the first time in 1811. Steamboats could go upstream as easily as downstream. They carried passengers and freight of all kinds. At night the passengers slept in bunks on the boat. Music was often provided to entertain the passengers. It was not long until steamboats were common on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Many famous steamboats were built in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Not all the rivers of Indiana were deep enough for steamboats. Once a steamboat made its way up White River to Indianapolis, but there it got stuck in shallow water. Flatboats had to be used on the small rivers. Men not living along the rivers in Indiana asked the state to dig canals or deep ditches to connect the big rivers in Indiana so that they could send their crops to market by waterways. Three long canals were planned, following rivers that were not deep enough for large boats. One canal connected Fort Wayne with Terre Haute, and then went to Evansville. This canal linked the Maumee River with the Ohio River.

  • Brownsville's Steamboat Enterprize and Pittsburgh's Supply Ofgeneral Jackson's Army by Alfred A.Maass
    Brownsville's Steamboat Enterprize and Pittsburgh's Supply ofGeneral Jackson's Army by Alfred A.Maass LEGENDS surround the history of transport on America's inland rivers, ranging from the remarkable canoe treks of the early explorers toMark Twain's Lifeon the Mississippi. The significance of MANYthe river highway in the settlement and economic develop- ment of the West has enhanced the romantic flavor of river history and perpetuated these stories. One of these legends has as its subject Captain Henry M. Shreve. Captain Shreve commanded the steamboat Enter- prize on the first successful round trip of a steamboat be- tween Pittsburgh and New Orleans in 1814-15. Shreve, cap- tain of a distinguished series ofriver steamers, and de- scribed as inventor of a system forremoving obstructions from river bottoms, became a hero to people in the Missis- sippi River basin forhis work as superintendent of the West- ern Rivers Improvement —in fact, the town of Shreveport, La., was named inhis honor. Shreve's early voyage to New Orleans and back was as epoch-making inits setting as was Fulton's earlier voyage in the Clermont up and down the Hudson. That the Enterprize was involved in the Battle ofNew Orleans inearly 1815 has only enhanced her fame. But the details of this event have given rise to a legend which, since itglorifies Captain Shreve, plays down the remarkable performance of a proto- typical river steamboat, the Enterprize. Before setting the account straight, allow me to quote the version of these events appearing in1848, written 30- odd years after their occurrence.
