New Orleans on Tuesday announced it’s selected a vendor to update the antiquated IT systems used by its courts and public safety agencies. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the New Orleans City Council authorized $30 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding for the Justice Tech Modernization Program last December. Advertisement“After fighting tirelessly for a direct allocation of ARPA dollars, we heard directly from residents that they wanted part of this funding to go towards supporting and improving public safety, and this partnership with MCP is a perfect example,” Cantrell said in the release. “The ability to quickly obtain and disseminate information is a crucial tool for fighting crime, and recent advancements in technology have enabled multiple law enforcement agencies to accomplish this effectively. It is critical that we equip New Orleans Police Department with every tool in the toolbox.”
