According to the NOPD, the new facility features 10 climate-controlled spaces, as well as indoor and outdoor access for kennels, new training equipment, improved lighting and improved water access.
The $316,000 project also includes upgrades to fencing and elevation for flood protection.
NOPD Lt. Regina Williams said at Friday's ribbon-cutting ceremony that the upgrades have been needed for a while.
'The last K-9 kennels were built in the 1960's. But now, in 2025, we turn the page to a new chapter. A modern, state-of-the-art facility now stands, dedicated to the incredible work of this unit,' said OPSO employee arrested, accused of conspiring to bring drugs into Orleans Parish jail
