About COPS 8

In 2002 a group of concerned, appreciative citizens who wanted to show gratitude to those who protect and serve the community, formed an alliance with the 8th District New Orleans Police to establish support and mutual understanding between the officers and the community.

Since COPS 8 inception, hundreds have joined in the mission: "to support and improve the quality of life for our 8th District Officers, which in turn enhances the security and safety of all 8th District citizens."

 Accomplishments and Goals              Map of the 8th District     

The City of New Orleans does NOT supply any of the following items to the 8th District Station -- or to ANY NOPD District Station. The 8th District Officers must turn to the public to acquire these and other items:

• Segways, golf carts, scooters, helmets, repairs and supplies
• Computers, printers, fax machines, inkjet cartridges
• Office furniture, lamps, light bulbs
• Most air conditioning and heating repairs
• All station renovations such as wall paint or new flooring
• Cleaning and bathroom supplies such as brooms, vacuum cleaner, soap, towels,
   sometimes even toilet paper!

You can help out the officers and their workplace by donating to COPS 8, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the needs of the NOPD 8th District.  Join Us
