"OPCD Executive Director Resigns Early Amid Media Attention and Pending Board Vote"
Tyrell Morris, the executive director of the Orleans Parish Communication District (OPCD), has resigned from his position one day before the board was set to vote on his future. Morris had previously announced a planned resignation date of September 15, but his immediate resignation comes amid an ongoing investigation by the Office of Inspector General of New Orleans into allegations of altering public documents and a car accident. An interim executive director has not been named, and the board will continue its investigation before a vote scheduled for Tuesday. City Council Vice President Helena Moreno called for swift action to find a new director to improve 911 response and address issues of mismanagement.
