NOPD Closes Loophole for Fired Officers | New Orleans News

New Orleans Police is shutting down a major loophole that let fired officers keep their state certification—and even get hired elsewhere—after serious misconduct. Following the case of Anthony Bakewell, who was sexually assaulted and then hired by two other agencies before his firing became public, the NOPD now pledges to fully disclose termination reasons to the state’s POST Council. They’ll also proactively request certification reviews for serious cases, ensuring only truly qualified and ethical officers stay in law enforcement across Louisiana.
