COPS 8, INC.

Our Mission Statement: "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."

COPS 8 is dedicated to supporting the police officers of the New Orleans Police Department's 8th District, which includes the French Quarter, CBD and Marigny. It was started in 2002 by a group of concerned, appreciative citizens who wanted to show gratitude to those who protect and serve the community. Via COPS 8 they could form an alliance with the 8th District New Orleans Police to establish support and mutual understanding between the officers and the community. All donations to COPS 8 are used to provide the 8th District Police with any equipment and items they are lacking but need in order to enhance their productivity and well-being. This includes educational training courses (such as active shooter and interrogation techniques), French Quarter-friendly vehicles such as bicycles and ATVs, printers and toner cartridges, flash drives to download surveillance footage, software to assist detectives, office furniture, air conditioners, station renovations and repairs, 24/7 bottled water and coffee, snacks, hot meals during large-scale events, uniform accessories, and so much more!
