How We Secure New Orleans
Unique New Orleans Challenges
The New Orleans metro area—including New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, and surrounding Jefferson and St. Bernard Parish communities—presents a security environment shaped by tourism, port operations, aging infrastructure, and frequent large-scale events. Unlike newer Sun Belt metros, New Orleans combines high foot traffic, legacy building layouts, and environmental risk, requiring adaptable and highly visible security programs.
- Tourism & Event Density: The French Quarter, Bourbon Street, convention centers, festivals, and sporting events create constant crowd-management and public-safety challenges.
- Port & Maritime Activity: The Port of New Orleans and Mississippi River logistics corridors face risks related to cargo theft, perimeter breaches, and unauthorized access.
- Property & Vehicle Crime: Retail districts, hotels, parking garages, and multifamily properties experience elevated theft, vandalism, and vehicle break-ins.
- Aging Infrastructure & Layout Constraints: Historic buildings and older facilities often lack modern access control, creating blind spots and unauthorized entry risks.
- Hospitality Workforce & Transient Populations: Hotels and short-term rentals must manage guest safety alongside high employee turnover and transient visitors.
- Construction & Redevelopment: Ongoing renovation and redevelopment projects are vulnerable to equipment theft and after-hours trespassing.
- Weather & Flood Risk: Hurricanes, flooding, and storm evacuations create security gaps during closures, evacuations, and post-storm recovery periods.
- Liability & Duty-of-Care Pressure: Property owners face heightened expectations to demonstrate proactive, documented security in a high-risk public environment.
