Five officers from the Chesterfield Police Department departed Chesterfield to help in the relief efforts being performed by the men and women of law enforcement in the Mississippi and Louisiana areas that were devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Chief James Kimm led a contingent of four other Chesterfield officers to help with delivering needed supplies and security for the ravaged area.

Other members of the group include Robert Stewart, Patrick Hoose, Todd Scott, and Craig Mayes. These officers departed Chesterfield on Tuesday, September 6, 2005, enroute to Biloxi, Mississippi to join up with FEMA.

Pictured above are the officers alongside the vehicles with the needed supplies to make the journey. Area churches and businesses donated all these supplies.

The officers were able to raise $2,300 in monetary donations, helping them to defer the costs of the trip.

The department would like to thank those that helped to make this effort by this agency possible through their donations and cooperation.
