"NOPD Headquarters Relocating Downtown Due to Vermin Infestation"

The New Orleans Police Department headquarters is facing severe maintenance issues, including infestations of rats and cockroaches, deteriorating infrastructure, and uncleanliness. Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick revealed that rats have been consuming marijuana in the evidence room, leading to them being "all high." As a result, the department is seeking to relocate to a downtown high rise, with a 10-year lease agreement under consideration by the City Council. The current state of the headquarters is described as a major deterrent for potential transfers and is deemed unacceptable for the department's personnel.
