Get behind the badge.
And walk the most rewarding beat in America.

There's no city in the world quite like New Orleans. Every day the men and women of the New Orleans Police Department get behind the badge to protect our city's most valuable asset: us.

Not everyone can be a New Orleans police officer. To be one, you need character, strength of will and the belief that one person can make a difference.

Watch these videos and hear what some of our officers have to say about being a force within the New Orleans force. And if you think you have what it takes to become one of the best-trained, best-equipped and best-paid police officers in Louisiana, start the pre-qualification process by visiting the "Apply Now" section.
