Project Overview

This project focuses on transforming the existing OPCD facility into a state-of-the-art public safety and communications campus, positioning Orleans Parish as a leader in emergency response. By expanding the current site, the project will enhance the facility's emergency backup capabilities while aligning with industry best practices and standards adopted by peer cities.

​

Recognizing the high-stress, 24/7 nature of operations at OPCD, this development prioritizes employee wellness, creating a supportive environment for staff. Innovative features, including solutions to address child care challenges for first responders, aim to boost team productivity, improve staff retention, and strengthen recruitment efforts, establishing OPCD and the City of New Orleans as an employer of choice.
