Mardi Gras Ends On Good Note For NOPD
New Orleans police will get a much-deserved rest after putting in double and triple overtime during Mardi Gras. "I'm sure they're tired, but we were prepared for it," said Supt. Warren Riley, of the New Orleans Police Department. "Officers worked 12-hour days, some 16 hours, some 18 hours." Police dealt with activities, including football festivities, parades and a high number of tourists. Riley said police have been on extra duty to keep citizens and visitors safe. "Under normal circumstances, they'd be drained," Riley said. "Our officers were on high like everyone else in the city. People are positive. There is energy in the city right now." - WDSU.COM
