Prosecutors’ Office
New Orleans has led the world in convictions and incarcerations for decades, yet there hasn’t been a corresponding decrease in crime. It’s time for us to be as smart on crime as we’ve historically been tough on it. The District Attorney’s Office is now focused on increasing safety and delivering justice, with a laser focus on serious offenses and a firm belief that every New Orleanian deserves the presumption of innocence.
