NEW ORLEANS — A series of photographs involving an officer and a patrol car is raising questions about how such pictures project the image of the New Orleans Police Department.The photographs — one showing a New Orleans police officer surrounded by young women — were sent to WDSU.com’s u local section.

WDSU confirmed that the officer in the photo was Adrian Chapital. He left the NOPD in December. Chapital worked in the 8th District, which includes the French Quarter.Only one of the photos showed Chapital. Another shows young women wrapped in crime tape with the police car’s trunk open, and another shows two women in the police cruiser.The pictures were taken months ago but recently submitted to WDSU.com’s u local section. The photos come at a time when the NOPD is working heavily to rebuild its image in the community.
