The Chief: A Year Later

In fact, future historians inspecting Landrieu political ephemera may come across a leaflet that reads:  “Fire Ronal Serpas!”  That leaflet was distributed May 13, 2010 at Gallier Hall – 10 days after Landrieu’s own inauguration – by activists opposed to the appointment of a chief with any ties to the troubled force. On May 4, 2010, 24 activist groups – including Mardi Gras Indian tribes – signed a letter to the DOJ asking the feds to intervene in the reform of the NOPD. The next day, Landrieu asked the U.S. Attorney General to assign a team of lawyers to help transform the NOPD. “I have inherited a police force that has been described by many as one of the worst police departments in the country,” Landrieu wrote. In April 2011, Mayor Landrieu suspended the director of Public Works and Commander Hosli pending investigation of a paid detail scandal – an extraordinary reach into the NOPD for a modern mayor. Serpas told WDSU-TV he had no knowledge that three officers – his son-in-law, his police driver and Hosli – were all earning big bucks by engaging in the ethically questionable review of traffic camera tickets for a private company run by Hosli and his wife.
