The New Orleans Police Foundation established the NOPD Emergency Relief Fund immediately after Hurricane Katrina. The relief fund was in response the devastation wreaked upon the NOPD Officers and their families, and will go directly to support those members of the New Orleans Police department. The New Orleans officers showed up to protect their city when no one else came. In their own fishing boats, they rescued hundreds of citizens. This is a chance for us to help those first responders.
