NPPD
Many of us here in Florida know the devastation a hurricane can leave behind. Now it’s time for us to step up and help our Louisiana law enforcement neighbors. NPPD learned the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office in southern Louisiana has been decimated by the recent Hurricane Ida. More than half of their deputies are struggling with damaged or destroyed homes. With projected weeks ahead without power, they need our help. NPPD and the North Port Police Officer’s Association, Inc is on the case.
Please consider stopping by the Walmart (17000 Tamiami Trail) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on September 10 to donate supplies (see list below).
If you can’t make it to the event, there are other options. Drop off items in the lobby of the Police Department which will be there until Friday. Cash or check donations are also accepted. If you’d like to assist, call or email Commander Joe Fussell at 941-740-1612 or [email protected]. Donations must be received by 5 p.m. on September 10. Let’s help make a difference for our law enforcement brothers and sisters.
