Governor Jeff Landry has requested up to 1,000 troops to be distributed across several cities, including Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, and New Orleans. While the exact number coming to the Crescent City is unclear, the question of their placement is a significant concern for residents.

Superintendent Kirkpatrick emphasized that while the Guard would partner with the NOPD, the soldiers would maintain their own chain of command and would not report directly to the New Orleans police.
