As you may have noticed, Gretna, Louisiana, does not have its own version of Gretna City in the United States of America. It is located on the 29 - 916459 (90 - 054260 - 7) road and has a population of about 2,500 people, or about 1,000 people per square mile, and is located about 30 miles east of Baton Rouge, about 20 miles west of New Orleans.

According to the US Census Bureau, the city has 7,665 residential units, or about 2,500 people, or about 1,000 people per square mile. The land is quake-prone land and the water is water, with an average depth of about 1.7 meters.

About one in 10 of all adult arrests, 652, involved drug violations, putting Gretna at the top of the cities with the highest rate of drug arrests in the country. The majority of those arrests were even less consequential, according to the FBI, which tracks the arrests of more than 3,000 people a year in New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana.

At the other end of the scale, Gretna police recorded more arrests per capita in 2013 than any other city in the state. In 2013, more than 3,000 people, or about 1.5 percent of all adults, including people who were not residents of the city, were arrested in New Orleans.

Gretna, which is slightly smaller than Ferguson, recorded more arrests per capita in 2013 than any other city in the state. Ferguson made more than 1,000 arrests in 2013, about 1.5 percent of all adults, compared with only about 500 in Gretna.

Those arrested for a violation of the municipal code will be booked and released, as a new court date is due, which can also be missed and which may be followed by new arrest warrants and new arrests. Those lucky enough to escape prison and be placed under the supervision of a local police officer, such as the city's police chief, pay for the privilege of being supervised and pay the legal costs if convicted. It is very rare for Gretna to take someone in handcuffs to a city court, though it looks like Ferguson is holding poor people in jail for months or even years while they pay their fines. What you wouldn't know if you walked through Greta's well-maintained downtown: In a state that leads the way in arresting and detaining people, it stands out for the frequency with which it makes arrests and arrests for violating city ordinances.

John McDonogh (also spelled "John McDonough" or "New") bought a restaurant, moved into a house and founded a settlement in 1815, which was to be called "McDonoughville." When a group of residents came together to win a political battle with the then-local government, Governor Luther E. Hall declared the settlement the city of Gretneas.

It seems obvious that the Gretna police chief is an elected position, and Chief Lawson has certainly helped spread the need to rebuild the place and its property values. But as I thought more about it, I realized that many of those I talked to about Gretna's city expressed concern that their city was leading the country in arrests per person. This did not surprise me much, but the fact that a story described the deputy police chief of a city as the most arrested - happily in the United States - was not my delight. It was not bad news that I had to send; the idea that we should be more careful in arresting and detaining people who break the law, especially people with a criminal record or criminal record, is not despatch.
