MARFORRES Marines and NOPD hold "A Night Against Crime"

Employees with The Village at Federal City, in New Orleans, hand out prizes to families after a pumpkin-patch dash, Oct. 17, 2017. “A Night Out Against Crime” was held to not only bring together community members in a night of fun, but to also show the faces of the local police force. With the growing violence in areas around New Orleans, the NOPD wants to let current and future residents know that should any disturbance or issues arise, they shouldn’t hesitate to ask or contact the police for help.
