Fair Grounds Patrol

Patrol Car 1: 504-251-0276

Patrol Car 2: 504-251-0111


As part of the ordinance allowing Fair Grounds to extend hours and expand to slot machine operations, they are required to fund enhanced NOPD patrols in the surrounding area. The patrol consists of two patrol cars operating 24 hours per day 7 days a week. The officers in the cars have mobile phones and can be contacted directly by residents in the patrol area. The patrol area is defined as the area bounded by DeSaix Boulevard to Moss Street to Ursulines Avenue to North Broad to St. Bernard Avenue. That means that the patrols typically do NOT extend to the north side of DeSaix. 


Always call 911 in case of emergencies. After calling 911, you can also call one of the numbers above.
