A spokesman for the French Quarter Management District (FQMD) has denied that former Louisiana State Police (LSP) Superintendent Mike Edmonson has been hired as program administrator for French Quarter security as reported by LouisianaVoice.
Christian Pendleton, chairman of the FQMD, said Edmonson has not only not been hired, but has not even applied for the job.
“We are still conducting interviews for the position and Mr. Edmonson has not been hired, nor has he applied for the position,” Pendleton said.
He said it would probably be up to another 90 days before someone is hired. “I am very deliberate and I will take my time on this,” he said.
Edmonson was LSP superintendent when a cooperative endeavor agreement (CEA) was negotiated whereby LSP would provide patrol duties in the French Quarter. Thirty-two troopers from Troop N were assigned permanently to the French Quarter after residents there passed a quarter-cent sales tax increase in 2015.
Several sources had indicated to LouisianaVoice that Edmonson had been chosen for the position.

Hmmm…I guess we’ll have to wait (at least another 90 days) and see, won’t we?
