New Orleans police training is being slammed for passing on bad behavior.
A report by court-appointed monitors finds recruits are mimicking their predecessors — in a bad way.
The New Orleans Advocate reports monitors found recruits are getting inadequate lesson plans, poor teachers and weak leadership.
The monitors were appointed by the court to oversee reforms detailed in a federal consent decree.
The recruits are expected to refresh and improve the shrunken department.
Police Superintendent Michael Harrison says the department is committed to improving training, and recently hired a curriculum developer to update lesson plans.
