TAG LINE:  PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST

MISSION:  The mission of the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation is to foster a safer city by creating a cooperative public-private environment in which all criminal justice agencies can attain their maximum operational capability and productivity.  The Foundation will impact safety and justice in New Orleans and facilitate improvements and reforms throughout the criminal justice system.

The New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation is a Crime Issue Coalition Member of Forward New Orleans.  FNO believes that for New Orleans to become a world class city, and for the region and state to progress, we must overcome critical challenges.  Forward New Orleans provides a mandate to city leadership on the most significant of those challenges. Forward New Orleans will be participating in a series of Issue Forums on WWL-TV exploring some of the Forward New Orleans platforms.  There will be an Issue Forum each morning beginning January 25, 2010 through January 29, 2010 between 7:45am - 8:00am. Topics include education, blight, crime, city services and infrastrructure, and city finance and economic development.  Go to www.forwardneworleans.com for more information.

This year, the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation (NOPJF) embraces a new slogan…public safety first! To celebrate our new message, we honored at our annual Stake Out for Justice luncheon, William Goldring, Chairman of Republic Beverage Company and Colonel (RET) Terry Ebbert, former director of Homeland Security in New Orleans. Our keynote speakers were James Carville and Mary Matalin. The luncheon was Thursday, November 19, 2009 and was held at the Marriott, New Orleans. Thanks to all who joined us and became a sponsor on this memorable occasion.
