Over the coming weeks, we will be formally recognizing several officers who were selected as Officer of the Month over the past year.

These officers earned this distinction through dedication, professionalism, and unwavering service to our community. We are proud to ensure their commitment does not go unnoticed.

Today, we proudly recognize Officer Marlon Padilla, November 2025 Officer of the Month.

As a member of the day shift platoon, Officer Padilla consistently answers calls for service and proactively patrols the district. His dedication to duty and commitment to the safety of the French Quarter exemplify the very best of the badge.

These recognitions matter. Honoring those who go above and beyond is part of strengthening the partnership between our officers and the community they serve.
