Adopt-A-Cop Donations Open for This Mardi Gras Season

Safety for all During Carnival

Help fund some extra support for those working hard to keep the streets safe and crowds organized during the elaborate Carnival season here in New Orleans.

During the parades, police officers play a key role in keeping crowds safe from rolling floats, responding to medical emergencies, and timing marching groups and floats as the parade rolls. Whether in the cold, heat, or rain, this is a tiring job that requires standing for long periods of time and remaining vigilant.

Those interested are welcome to donate, or adopt-a-cop, to fund meals and gestures to show appreciation for the NOPD during this Mardi Gras season. The donation program is put on by the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation.
