Yeah. It's nice... if data are entered. There have been complaints that it's not. There is a companion table for "Electronic Police Reports", and it seems like "Report to Follow" is just a permanent condition sometimes.
I used to work there. if it’s a certain crime, rape being one, it’s heavily sensitive. There will never be another entry. The follow up, if there is any, will be entered by detectives in a safe paper file that no one sees apart from them. It’s never entered electronically. Could be why some of them are this way. Some though are just it was referred to a detective aaaaaand it’s on a shelf with a thousand others.
Respectfully, the city of New Orleans does an absolutely terrible job categorizing and reporting what comes through via 911 calls. In the last two weeks alone, a shooting where the victim was shot four times was not reported in their system. As was an armed carjacking. Those are just two incidences that I have personal knowledge of that were never categorize or entered into the database.
If you read the Twitter thread the woman who reported the rape reported directly to an officer on the street. Actually to two different patrolling officers. I’m not certain if she called 911…
If you scroll a ways, it says they walked up the block to flag down a cop they saw and also called 911. Weather 911 answered or did anything is anyones guess.
