The Washington Post investigation published this week reported that New Orleans police were using Project N.O.L.A.'s network of facial recognition cameras to monitor the streets for wanted suspects over the past two years in ways that appeared "out of step" with the local ordinance.

Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams scorched Sheriff Susan Hutson for failing to order an investigation into the crime scene where 10 inmates escaped from jail.

The Washington Post found that NOPD "secretly relied" on AI-equipped facial recognition cameras. But the use of such technology contrasts with guidelines in a 2022 city ordinance.

Louisiana State Police, who have yet to find half of the Orleans Parish Prison escapees, announced the arrest of two women on Thursday – one who allegedly gave food to an escapee and another who was suspected to have been “in contact via phone” with one of the former prisoners.

NOPD seeks public aid to catch a suspect in a car burglary on Canal Street. They released a description and urge anyone with information to contact them.

The NOPD’s Special Operations Division Tactical II team obtained information allegedly tying Smith to helping the escapees along with Cortnie Harris, 32, of New Orleans, who was arrested for her alleged role Wednesday and had a $2.5 million bond placed on her.

Officers responded to a call of a man on the bridge, who jumped over the guard rail into the Mississippi River.

A team of over 200 local, state and federal law enforcement officers and agents is working around the clock to capture the remaining missing inmates who broke out of a New Orleans jail in a stunning overnight escape last week,
