New Orleans Police Supt. Shaun Ferguson addresses the recent uptick in crime during a news conference on Jan. 19, 2022, in New Orleans. Ferguson announced his retirement Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022, after four years punctuated by a disastrous building collapse at the edge of the French Quarter, two hurricanes, a pandemic, dwindling police manpower and a violent crime surge that put residents on edge and turned up political pressure on city leaders.
