In this file photo from January 2017, Col. Mike Edmonson, then the superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, talks about new public safety improvements for New Orleans during a press conference at New Orleans City Hall. Edmonson retired in March. An audit accuses him of gross misspending and of improper usages of public property while he was in his leadership position.
