The New Orleans police and Justice Foundation have released a final report with suggestions from the nation's leading tactical expert on how to make the city safer. NOPJF, a nonprofit organization, contracted Teneo and security expert William J. Bratton to identify areas where the city needed to harden security following the New Year's Day terror attack. This comes after the terror attack killed 14 people and injured 35 others after a suspect drove through Bourbon Street crowds.According to the report, Bratton and his team suggest a permanent pedestrian plaza on Bourbon Street. Bratton's team suggestions making Canal Street to Dumaine Street pedestrian-only. There would be a certain window where trucks could make deliveries to businesses, but Bratton's team suggests the city work with businesses on what hours would be best. The report also recommends barriers at each cross street. Emergency vehicles would be granted access to the pedestrian-only area, according to the report. The report also outlined deficiencies with the city's security plan for big events like Mardi Gras. According to the report, the city does not have sufficient barriers for Mardi Gras parades, and trash cans along parade routes pose a significant risk for IEDs. The report also noted that the city does not have a sufficient way to respond to chemical, nuclear, or explosive emergencies. Bratton and his team suggest creating a response plan to these types of incidents and creating clear protocols to secure and remove suspicious material. The report also says NOPD is understaffed and underdeveloped in responding to complex threats across the city. Bratton and his team suggest NOPD hire more officers and implement specific training for large-scale events while also advocating for federal resources for large-scale events. Bratton also suggests increasing the quality of the city's barriers. If the city cannot attain more barriers, the team suggests alternative strategies for the placement of existing barriers for future events. You can read Bratton's full report here.
