Citizens Organization for Police Support 2

In 1990, the Citizens Organization for Police Support 2 - COPS 2 -
became the first tax-exempt volunteer organization in New Orleans
dedicated to the support of police officers assigned to the Second District.

All dues and donations are used for programs and items designed
to enhance the working lives of our officers.

Tommy Parker Awards

Tommy Parker was an exceptional member of COPS 2 who served for many years on the Board and is remembered for his dedication and hard work to helping police officers in the 2nd District. Upon his death, The Azby Fund, and friends of Tommy Parker established a memorial fund for "Tommy Parker Awards" in order to recognize the outstanding work of police officers in the 2nd District. The Tommy Parker Awards are presented each quarter to the 2nd District's Best Patrol Officer, Best DIU (Detective Investigative Unit) Officer, and Best Reserve or Rank Officer.

At the end of the year, The Tommy Parker Best of the Best is awarded to the officer who stands out among the best of the quarterly award recipients in each category. The award recipients are determined by careful evaluation of the supervisors and Commander of the 2nd District with input from COPS 2.
