Greater New Orleans Police Patrol Enhancement

The New Orleans Community Support Foundation (the Foundation) respectfully requests a grant in the amount of $963,000 for supplemental French Quarter police patrols and general safety/quality of life improvements, in an effort to keep New Orleans’ French Quarter neighborhood as safe and clean as possible for residents and visitors alike to ensure the overall vitality, safety, and preservation of this critical city asset.

The Foundation will utilize this funding to formally partner with the French Quarter Management District (FQMD) to expand their ongoing initiative of providing ongoing, long-term security patrols to supplement the coverage of the New Orleans Police Department’s (NOPD) Eighth District.

For over ten years, FQMD has successfully overseen supplemental Police Patrols in the French Quarter. Based on the transparent and accountable administration of these patrols by the FQMD, we will utilize Byrne funds to expand the Upper Quarter Patrol (UQP), previously funded by private parties.
