The event, named "Geaux Blue Day", was a collaborative effort by New Orleans residents, businesses and City leaders to bring officers and their families together and show them support in light of recent events happening across the country.
"It shows that I'm appreciated in my profession," said NOPD Officer Khalid Watson. "And it lets my daughters know that people do appreciate what their daddy does for a living and the sacrifices he makes."
