One outlet of support we are providing is based on the traditions of our Historic Mardi Gras. We conduct events during the Mardi Gras festival culminating in a float ride, during the day parade, for children and the surviving spouse, partner, and parents of the fallen officer. This fun-filled event allows for the families to interact with the Mardi Gras participants and engage them in a positive experience.  ​
 

Our hope is to allow, even if for a short time, a fun and festive activity for the families, so they know that the community remains grateful to them and for the officers ultimate sacrifice.
