NEW ORLEANS (AP) - These were the cops who stayed. The ones who waded through the murky waters that filled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The ones who pulled people from attics and off rooftops, comforted them and brought them to safety.
On Wednesday, the New Orleans Police Department honored the officers who rescued victims of the Aug. 29 storm.
"For the first three days after Hurricane Katrina, the police department saved thousands of lives," Superintendent Warren Riley told over 400 officers awarded special Hurricane Katrina pins.
