COPS 4
Organization Seeks New Members to Support Fourth
District Police Officers
NEW ORLEANS – For the last six years, the COPS 4 organization has held many
fundraising and community events that have enhanced the effectiveness and
morale of the officers in the Fourth District, and the organization is now
seeking more community support to assist in future efforts.
“We are so appreciative of the work that COPS 4 has done for the
Fourth District and continues to do for us every day”, said Fourth District
Commander Ceasar Ruffin. “Our officers are often surprised by the special
treats and necessary equipment COPS 4 provides to us, and it’s great to know that we can depend on
the people that are a part of our community."
COPS 4 also recognizes officers in a supervisory capacity each
quarter by providing officers with an award and assisting with a number of
events and community initiatives like the annual Christmas party, garden
planting at the station, purchasing digital cameras and new DVRs for detectives
and the station's security system. Recently, COPS 4 assisted with the repair of the Fourth
District’s police bicycles and scooters so that officers could get back
to increasing patrols in the area.
Participation in COPS 4 provides an opportunity for community
interaction with our officers as well as an opportunity for residents to
receive crime updates and develop relationships with the different officers in
the district.
There are four levels of memberships, ranging from $25 to $250. One hundred
percent of the funds raised through COPS 4 are used exclusively for the Fourth
District.
