ST. TAMMANY PARISH CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT

Newly launched in 2016, this series of reports will track the performance of the St. Tammany Parish criminal justice system according to the same core metrics that the MCC has steadily applied in Orleans Parish since 2007. The Northshore Business Council sponsored the MCC expansion into St. Tammany Parish, largely in response to significant shifts in criminal justice system leadership. The program begins with an examination of St. Tammany Criminal justice system performance in 2014, which was the last year of the former long-term District Attorney’s tenure. Since 2014, the parish has also elected a new St. Tammany Parish Sheriff, District Attorney, Clerk of Court, and Slidell Police Chief.
