Cops helping Cops is happy to report that our first trip was a success. We arrived in New Orleans with members of the FDNY, NYPD, Michigan Sheriffs Office, Search and Rescue personnel and Reed City, MI FD. For the next few days we worked together as a team in the heat, with bugs, and over coming interesting obstacles and getting our first N.O.P.D. Officer back in his home. For all that went, It was an uplifting experience. For a Police Department, It let them know that they weren’t alone.
Cops Helping Cops also got a few surprises. The first was a media blitz. It seems the media enjoyed the fact that people were working on Labor Day, when others were at rest. So we had every major news network visiting us. Next, we enjoyed meeting other members of the Police Department. We were cooked authentic Louisiana meals (which we really enjoyed) and had the pleasure of meeting Officers, Captains, Chiefs and the Superintendent (Commissioner) of the N.O.P.D. We even had the pleasure of meeting Sir Earl Toon of Kool and the Gang. Nice guy.
Cops Helping Cops would like to Thank all the people that went down and Helped.
