Tomorrow, (Oct. 1) McDonald’s of New Orleans will launch a new program to recognize NOPD officers every month. The Officer of the Month program will recognize NOPD officers who perform above and beyond the call of duty while on the job. As part of the award, the Bardell Co., a local McDonald's owner and operator, will award the winning officer with a $750 scholarship that the officer can use to participate in police training and leadership programs across the country.
The award will be announced during the Coffee with Cops event at the McDonald’s located at 711 Canal Street at 10:15 a.m.
The Bardell Co. is one of multiple local McDonald’s restaurant owners who partnered with the NOPD’s recruitment campaign by featuring recruitment advertisements on paper tray liners served to dine-in customers at dozens of restaurants across the New Orleans region.
