The Metropolitan Crime Commission (MCC) is a non-profit, privately funded, citizen’s organization dedicated to exposing and eliminating public corruption and to reducing the incidence of crime and improving the administration of justice in order to improve the quality of life for citizens in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans metropolitan areas and throughout Louisiana.

Through its programs, the MCC holds public officials and employees accountable for corrupt, unethical, and wasteful practices and works to enhance the safety of our community:

  • Anti-Public Corruption Program: Allows citizens and public employees to report criminal or unethical acts or acts of administrative wrongdoing committed in the course of public service or employment.  Callers can provide information in the strictest of confidence and may be eligible for rewards.

  • Research Program: Conducts objective research to raise the level of accountability and efficiency in the adult and juvenile criminal justice systems.

  • Wanted By The Law Program: A weekly publication in the Times-Picayune engaging the public’s help in removing wanted criminals from the community.

The MCC is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit citizen’s organization funded primarily by tax-deductible contributions from individuals and businesses.  Your support will help us continue our fight to improve our community through more efficient government operations and a more effective criminal justice system.
