Department gets creative with recruitment as employment figures hit historic low
The murder rate in New Orleans is the highest in the land and the man in charge of holding the thin blue line in the Big Easy now has far fewer police officers after years in which hundreds have departed.
If Superintendent Shaun Ferguson was managing a police force in the London of Arthur Conan Doyle, or Dorothy L Sayers, now would be the time to send for a gentleman with an independent income and an enthusiastic interest in violent crime.
This can only be great.
