2023 Third District Trends

CARJACKING (+260% since 2019; +38% since 2020; -44% since 2021; +13% since 2022)

Carjacking sharply increased in the 3rd District during 2021, but the remainder of Orleans Parish did not experience a carjacking spike until 2022. 

ARMED ROBBERY (-5% since 2019; -28% since 2020; +13% since 2021; 60% since 2022). 

In contrast, 3^rd District armed robbery has declined 60%, more than any other district as of June 30, 2023.  Given that at the same time in 2022, the 3^rd and 7^th Districts were tied for most armed robbery incidents (45 apiece), the 3^rd District robbery reduction has contributed substantially to the citywide (-16%) decline.
