New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick says she has hired former New York Police Commissioner William J.

New Orleans is bringing on Bill Bratton, who has been the top cop in Boston, New York and Los Angeles, to counsel the city on its security measures following the deadly Bourbon Street attack, the New Orleans police chief said Wednesday.

The New Orleans Police Department has hired former New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton to review the city’s security plans and harden it against future attacks after last week’s deadly rampage on Bourbon Street.

Plaintiffs argue that the timing of construction left vulnerable gaps in security, effectively creating a “soft target” that attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar exploited when he drove a rented pickup truck through a crowded Bourbon Street, killing 14 people and injuring dozens more.

President Joe Biden, accompanied by his wife Jill, on Monday visited Bourbon Street to honor the victims of a New Year's truck-ramming attack that killed 14 people in New Orleans.
