Houston’s former Mayor and Police Chief Lee Brown has been hired to help handle New Orleans’ growing crime problem.
This comes one day after hundreds of people marched in the streets demanding something be done about the violence.
So far this year, nine people have been killed.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin says Brown’s company will evaluate the city’s police department and help establish community police policies.
Brown says that should take about six months.
