03 Sep Detectives Get New Laptops

COPS 2 donated funds for laptops for the 2nd District Detectives Unit. Each of our 2nd District Detectives now has a state-of-the-art laptop which enhances their ability to connect quickly to the NOPD main computer and thus do their investigative work more efficiently. The portability is an important aspect of their investigative and report-writing work.

In the photo, David Mintz, of Cops 2, smiles as Capt. Darryl Albert hands Heather Gore, a brand new laptop at the 2nd District Station Monday afternoon. Cops II, a nonprofit that provides support for the officers of the NOPD Second District, donated 14 laptops and carrying cases to 14 detectives in the department.

“The laptops will increase efficiency and speed,” said Albert. Cops 2, founded in 1990, has donated everything from copy machines to counseling services for officers and their families to the department. The next donation will be bicycles for the bicycle patrol.
