Facing officer shortage after the 'defund police' movement, New Orleans to dispatch civilians to crime scenes - TheBlaze

As part of a new initiative aimed at bolstering the force and its crime-fighting response, the New Orleans Police Department will re-deploy officers to the streets who were previously working in administrative, specialty, and detective capacities.
