New Orleans Budget Proposal Targets Elimination of On Scene Services Contract
What happened
A proposal within the New Orleans city budget suggests eliminating the service contract for On Scene Services, a company that handles crash investigations instead of police officers. The company is contracted through the city and employs individuals with law enforcement experience. If adopted, the budget proposal would save the city approximately $1.3 million next year.

Why it matters
The service provided by On Scene Services assists in crash investigations, helping to free up New Orleans Police Department officers. The city pays the company $190 per crash response, though the company argues that using officers instead would cost more. The proposal would affect how the city manages civilian traffic incidents.
