Since July 2025, I’ve filed more than 100 complaints with NOPD’s Public Integrity Bureau (PIB). Most report officers asking Project NOLA to run facial recognition, which is unlawful. Others cover NOPD drone flights and NOPD blocking me on social media. PIB has issued 18 case numbers in response. Keeping track of which complaint ended up where became a job of its own, so I built a public tracker:
Each row ties a complaint to its PIB case number, the officers named, the investigator, the status, the outcome, the date I filed it, and a link to the original complaint. A second tab summarizes each case and links the closing letter.
What the tracker shows:
- Two sustained findings in 18 cases. They went against SPO Nicholas Hairston (2025-0608-P) and SPO Samuel Biscoe (2026-0059-P). Each officer got “corrective training.”
- Complaints closed in bulk. PIB logged 62 separate complaint emails under one number, 2026-0037-N, and closed them with one letter and no discipline. Biscoe’s complaint arrived in that same batch. PIB found that he broke the facial recognition policy. The same letter says more than 30 other officers “did not use FRT.”
- Most cases closed without an investigation. Six of the nine closed cases ended at “preliminary inquiry,” with PIB deciding each complaint “requires no further investigation.”
- The drone flights were all fine, according to PIB. My complaint named eight drone pilots. PIB closed it by saying every deployment was “authorized and approved by a supervisor.”
- The first case cleared everyone. In 2025-0366-P, all 12 officers were found “unfounded.”
- Eight cases have no closing letter. Two have been waiting since January.
I’ll update the tracker as PIB responds. Every complaint and closing letter is linked, so you can check my work.
