Mayor LaToya Cantrell has acknowledged she could not confirm if the new bollard system is sufficient to stop a similar vehicle attack. And on Monday, state Attorney General Liz Murrill ordered a review of security measures that were in place for New Year's celebrations and the Sugar Bowl. She told the city council that she lacked clarity about the inventory and condition of security systems around Bourbon Street. She had said the day of the attack that the city did not deploy wedge barriers because they "had malfunction problems" and that the attacker had "defeated" the city's security plans.
Several councilmembers expressed concern over whether Bratton would work closely with the city council and complained that they had not been involved in his hiring. Councilmember J.P. Morrell urged the police department to engage the public as it evaluates security measures with Bratton.
