Here we have Nikia Adams, one of New Orleans Finest. She is a 10-year veteran of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD). A police officer’s job is to ensure the protection of citizens, prevent and detect crimes, and enforce laws. You know, to “Protect and Serve”. Except this police officer has been arrested on animal cruelty charges after a dead dog and a malnourished one were found at her home. So much for Protect and Serve.
On Tuesday, January 19, Nikia Adams contacted the St. John animal shelter Tuesday to say that her dog had died in her backyard and asked for assistance in removing the animal. When a member of the animal shelter got to the home, she found a dead Labrador retriever that was emaciated and apparently starved to death. In addition, she found another dog (a boxer) on the premises also emaciated and starving.
Nikia Adams told the animal shelter employee that she fed the dogs several times a day. But a post mortem examination seemed to indicate otherwise. It was determined that the dog died from severe neglect, either through starvation or from non-treatment of a medical condition.
The animal shelter employee later returned to Adams’ home with deputies and seized the other dog for its protection. This dog was also severely emaciated, weighing 
only 38 pounds when it should be weighing about 55 to 60 pounds. The dog also tested positive for whipworms and heartworms. The gums were infected and the dog showed other signs of neglect.
Animal Cruelty is a crime. Very often the police are responsible for the investigation of animal cruelty complaints. And we trust them. When we are victims of a crime or see any violence or abuse on others, we call the police. Across the United States almost every single police officer conducts her/himself as a professional and deserves our respect. Almost.
Nikia Adams was arrested and booked on charges of aggravated cruelty to an animal, a felony, and misdemeanor animal cruelty for the dog found alive. She is free after posting $4,500 bond.
It is a substantial breach of public trust for Officer Nikia Adams to violate the very laws we depend on police officers to enforce.
So sad for those poor babies.
Somebody needs to pinch this bitch’s head off!
Feel so very sorry for those pup’s
I can’t even begin to comment on the POS owner and a cop no less
gosh them poor babies lets do to her what she done to the poor poor babies, i think dogs are one of the holiest things there are after god and the angels and sometimes i think dogs are angels, them poor dogs
I hope they prosecute her to the fullest extent. I dont know why when an innocent life is taken it is not considered MURDER…should be for animals & humans..
I hope they hang this bit**…
sad, Tyler. but they won’t. they’ll slap her dainty wrist…tell her NOT 2 do it again n then…..send her back “out on the streets” 2 “serve n protect”.
what a great big very SAD joke!!!!
“to serve & protect” ……means NOTHING these days, eh? so very sorry, dear woofer. u SHOULD have been taken care of properly!!! i do hope the other dog will go 2 a good n loving home……if it survives!! bless u, sweet 1….
This breaks my heart ,and makes me sick to my stomach. Who are we suppose to trust to help our animals ,who can no speak for themselves. There are to many law enforcement officers committing crimes against animals now a days. Rest with God and his Angels little one who is gone, and I will pray for the other little one to make a full recovery, and to get a loving home!
She can’t feed her dogs and I wonder just how much food, smokes or booze was in her pantry for herself?
What a breach of trust and responsibility. She should lose her badge and be removed from the public trust. I wouldn’t want one dime of my tax dollars paying her salary.
She lied. She said that she fed them, autopsy proved other wise and she KNEW or should KNOW that autopsys WILL prove other wise due to her “line of work” yet she still LIED.
She lied and neglected and contributed to a crime when she is employed to help stop crime.
She needs to be fired this is not a good example of an officer. And what other things has she lied about as an officer?
You see this boxer starved and was that boxer tethered already when the photo was taken? She needs to be fired I would think that the POD there would see she has made them all look bad.
What a damn liar FIRE HER NOW.
Here is the differance in 2 police women. The one in Baltimore saved a dog that had been set on fire by using her own clothing to smother the flames and this so called human starves one to death and the other at death’s door. One got a honor and the other should get fired.
………AND put in jail!!!!!
I think it’s time for the people to take matters into their own hands and seek justice. These ASSHOLE PSYCHOPATHS KNOW they are going to get away with this and that is why it is so prevalent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they know they are gonna pay for their CRIMES they WILL think twice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a BITCH!! I hope her fellow officers shun her and make her feel like shit. She needs to be jailed and fired. I hate her!!!
I agree that she is a BITCH and a waste of air. Her fellow officers will not shun her for she is what they like to say “one of them”. Yes she should be fired and jailed but you and I both know thats not going to happen.
Protect and serve… people with no value for life should be left to rot behind bars for good!
I think that her badge should be taken away for her behavior. If you are incapable of feeding your pets, how are you capable of protecting society and handling a weapon? If she had starved her child, I am sure they would have removed her badge. However, people fail to realize this is foreshadowing for the future. People who abuse animals ususally abuse people.
i think she should be fired. and barred from any form of government or civil service. ever. i don’t want her policing any community, anywhere!
She is running a race to be the number one pos of 2010, wonder who will win?
Take away her badge and throw her in jail.
1908 Cartier Drive is the B_ _TCH’S address. I say we go do a drive by.
n we all bring ALL our dogs n let ‘em poop in her yard……n not pick it up. LOLOLOLOLOL….i’m in a good mood today. there’s snow on the ground n the sun’s shining, so i’m beins (sorta) good. LOLOLOLOLOL
I went on the NOPD website and asked them to fire this woman immediately She has NO business being in law enforcement!
This Woman pretty Officer needs a psychological evaluation!!!. A person
has to be sick in the
head to be able to starve an animal day in and day out….
She should be starved and see how she likes it?
Oh well, I hope this Officer gets it from Life and real good.
Too much is too much.

Bud: Can you provide the link? I would like to add my “2 cents”. What a pathetic POS waste of flesh. I hate her and would to catch her alone for some education!
Hi Lisa! I Googled NOPD and at the bottom of the site page is a “Contact Us” link. Good luck!
Many thanks Bud…I am on it
Thanks for caring.
While I agree this person should be punished and should lose her career as an officer of the law, I find it horrible that so many of you continue to post such vile comments.
It’s especially troubling an address is posted, that may OR may not be correct and creates a whole other problem IF someone were to feel compelled to ‘do a drive by’ as encouraged by the poster of the address. What if it’s not the correct address and something were to happen?
Please be more responsible in your ‘pay back’ thoughts. We all feel the rage and disgust of this and too many other events where animals, but especially pets such as dogs and cats – who should live their life without our homes, as family, but when we cannot contain our anger, and state vile wishes against a savage someone, the we fail to bring mankind up a level. To help make mankind better, focus your attentions on the suffering, to help bring them up and make them well. Putting so much negativity out there from our heart is simply not healthy!
Please don’t go and blast me for saying all this, I’m not trying to change anyone, and I don’t expect anyone to not be mad as hell about any kind of abuse and/or IGNORANCE when it comes to being decent to other living beings. If you’re here, then it’s obvious you are people with a caring heart. I’m only trying to redirect some of that anger expressed. My apologies if I’ve offended anyone.
KinKStar, I believe some of the others have mentioned to you before that this is a sounding board, and no one is really going to go out and cause harm to any other human being on this blog. Most of us are in rescue in some shape or form, and I can tell you for a fact that I do say things and “vent” when I do my part in rescue, and see the atrocities that I see. Yes, I say things I would never act on – so please, if you dont like what others are saying, don’t read the blogs, and please don’t preach to anyone when they say things that would physically hurt someone.
And honestly, if her address is published, so be it. If I lived in that town, I would put a damn sign in her front yard saying she was arrested on felony animal cruelty charges. Sort of like the Scarlett Letter. Most cops don’t have any information published about them anywhere. Obviously, she is not too bright if she has her address published.
Is it alright to incite violence – EVEN if the person is as despicable as this one?
You don’t know who reads these words, and who might take it to heart. I agree this woman needs to be punished, but SOME people – and especially strangers on the World WILD Web can be frightening with their passions, and their obsessions, late into the night – fueled by ignorance or substances and looking for a way to feel like something special and hell, you just never know . . . I’m just sayin’ . . . That’s all.
No one is inciting violence. The regulars who have been here a while, all understand where each other is coming from, and many of us have each other’s personal email addresses – not just communicating here on the blog.
Sure the web can be frightening, but there is the owner of the blog who does step in, and when it gets too hot, then D steps in and basically asks that the pissing contest stops. Many of us devote our lives to rescue and being advocates, and yes, we do say things just to vent.
It is obvious you have not gone back in the past stories to read some of the other posts. Take the time to do it, you might have a better understanding of some of us older posters.
Oh..boo hoo hoo let’s keep giving them the so slight slap on the wrist…how is that working so far….NOT. Please, (to be polite)how about let’s not offend the (voiceless) victims for a change of pace!!! A better idea really. Vile is reserved for the violent perps. Please see V as in Vile.
Oh yes, please, let’s hold so called people accountable for their choices and their actions, okay???? A Little vegetable soup for the soul. Sorry D and Blog members that care, for any direspect. Hope this makes it to post.
Sorry for the spelling errors..it’s late and it’s been a long day. okay..I am sure you got the jist of it.
My thought: ANYONE who looks into the innocent eyes of an animal, OR a child, then uses harsh words or physical violence, for their own sick pleasures or desire for undeserved wealths, does NOT deserve to live among us.
I did not say and I did not mean to say that this so-called officer should be let go or not be punished. All I said was that the words I read repeatedly here in this blog’s posting are angry yet worthless in helping anyone, least of all you with all that negativity. I’m sorry if you can’t get that. I tried, cause it shouldn’t be about imitating those we don’t like by being hateful.
Folks: Is very disturbing to see how
horrible life can be for
our pets and other animals.
Humanity’s hormones
are running the lives of many offenders.
There must be something in our food that we ingest for so many around the entire world to be so cruel to animals. Alfred Schweitzer (log in)has a very beautiful prayer for all the animals.
Whenever you eat bless the animal your food came from, whenever you go to sleep pray that God sends angels to the animals to protect them.
God made the animals for our care and this is how we pay God back?
We are all very angry at seing such abuses just getting a little
smack of the wrist.
Yes, there should be a community work program with these ugly people serving forever!!!

This “thing” of a so called human being is a waste of a human. This woman was hired to serve and protect, and I hope to hell that the other officers in her department shun her, and treat her as a criminal, because that is what she is. I thought that officers who are arrested are to go on suspension (depending on the crime I assume), and on felony charges? This woman should be stripped of her badge, and hopefully convicted of her felonius offenses.
I cried when I read this story. The picture of that boxer had me in tears. Boxers are a beautiful breed, with their strong chests – this one looks so weak – it is so unfair to the animals. When I read about the lab, that crushed me. Sorry, my house the dogs are fed first, and are always treated with the respect that they deserve. There is no excuse for not feeding an animal, and then to tell a boldface lie and say she had fed them – omg. Labbie baby, you are at peace and you will never suffer again; but you should never have had to die the way you did.
Strip her of her duties and put this witch in jail.
What I just sent to the NOPD. I will keep you posted if I get a reply.
Dear Sirs, I hold the highest praise for what you do, and putting your lives on the line every day. But, I do have a problem with your officer Nikia Adams, and what cruelty she has put upon her dogs, one now deceased, and the other taken away by AC. I devote all my “off the clock” time to animal rescue, and after seeing a picture of her starved boxer, it made me sick. When a person takes on the responsibility of an animal, you are the parent to that animal; meaning you take it to the doctor, you feed and water, train the animal, and treat it with the respect it so deserves. Your Officer Adams lied when she said she feeds the dogs – they sure as hell did not get that thin and emaciated by being fed. The reports on the now deceased lab had shown that it was starved.
Sorry, but I had to get this out of my system. This officer was hired to serve and protect – what would happen if she had gone an an animal abuse/neglect case as an officer of the law – would she treat the offenders the way they should be treated, or would she sweep it under the carpet and say it is all right? I think the first, but now that she is in those shoes, I don’t think she likes the fact that she did get arrested on felony charges. I hope that the judge is an animal lover, because with all the animal abuse and neglect that goes on in our wonderful country, a judge who wants to set presidence regarding animal cruelty could change our nations way of thinking, that animal abuse will not be tolerated.
My best to you and your department Sir.
My sweet Facebook friend, I had no idea this was you on this site, well done, cheers to you!!
New Orleans is home, I’m a Louisiana native a long way from home, but if I was down there right now, I would find that stupid pile of excrement and chew her up one side and down the other, I can only pray that justice is served and she spends a long time in jail.
The thought of this piece of trash serving as one of New Orleans’finest makes me furious. I pray that she is fired and sentenced in court to never ever ever be allowed to have another companion animal.
There are many serious ARAs in the New Orleans area, I do NOT think they will let this case slip through unnoticed. Thanks so much for this, you are my hero, my friend!!
Why hasn’t she lost her job the public doesn’t want the like’s of her in the police what is this world coming to. Her sentence isn’t good enough. Animals are so vunrable and look who they depend upon to look after them people like that it is a joke, god I hope she burns in hell, I would like to get just ten minutes with one of these people I wouldn’t like to say what I would do to them.
