Serious question, what is the right number of officers for a city that size? 1 officer per 400 people or so doesn't sound very low to me.

    NOPD's stated goal is 1600, a ratio of 1:227 persons.

    The actual ratio is 1:385

    Cleveland, similar in size to New Orleans, has a ratio 1:310. They also state that they are suffering from a serious police shortage.

    By comparison:

    NYC has a ratio of 1:166

    Chicago 1:180
