Description: This is a beautiful New Orleans Police Dept. challenge coin. Coin is about 1 9/16" in diameter and raised lettering on both sides with a reeded edge. Reverse side has St. Michael the Protector, Patron Saint of Police and the words "In God We Trust". Coin is contained in an acrylic air tight holder. The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) has primary responsibility for law enforcement in New Orleans, Louisiana. The department's jurisdiction covers all of Orleans Parrish, while the city is divided into eight police districts. As of July 2007, the New Orleans Police Department had 1,406 officers on the force. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, the NOPD had 1,742 commissioned police officers. The NOPD was actively recruiting to increase manpower in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, which preceded an unusually high number of resignations. The Star and Crescent badge, unique to the NOPD, has been worn by members of the department since 1855. The crescent represents the shape of the city, as the Mississippi River forms a crescent shape around the city. The star represents the power of a state or local government to preserve order and keep the peace; it is a traditional symbol of law enforcement authority in the United States.
