Biography
The Metropolitan Crime Commission of New Orleans (MCC) is a non-profit, privately funded, public service, citizens' organization dedicated to improving the administration of justice, reducing the incidence of violent crime and stamping out public corruption. Established in 1952 by leaders in the community, the MCC was initially charged with the task of investigating and suppressing corruption in the New Orleans Police Department. Since then, the agenda of the MCC has expanded to meet the increasing needs of the public it serves. The MCC is supported primarily by businesses, professional leaders and concerned citizens in metropolitan New Orleans. Committed to identifying and discouraging corruption in governmental agencies and seeking ways to reduce and impede crime, the MCC has been a force in the Greater New Orleans area for over 40 years.
