Is there a general collection fund for all of those lost or injured? Possibly a joint effort between the police and sherrif department?
I would like to know the same thing. Dallas has a great organization called Assist the Officer (atodallas.org.) that was founded by police officers and administered by police officers. 100% of the donated money goes to the relatives of deceased officers and to injured officers. It also covers law enforcement officers for counties that border Dallas County. This organization is supported by many of Dallas leading business such as Southwest Airlines, the Dallas Stars and many others.
Some of the deceased families received a check from the ATO for $100,000 within a day or two of their death. It took a few days longer for a couple of families because the ATO wants to be sure the check is delivered to the appropriate person or persons.
If there is a similar organization in Baton Rouge or Louisiana I too would like to know about them.
Edit to add: I see that LSURussian just posted some information. I will be watching for the details. Thanks for posting.

In case anyone wants to make a donation to Deputy Garafola's family without paying the GoFundMe fees, I spoke to the sheriff's department this morning and they have set up a memorial fund through their office.
You can send a check to:
EBR Parish Sheriff's Office
P.O. Box 3277
Baton Rouge, LA 70821
Make the check out to "EBR Parish Sheriff" and write in the memo section of the check "Brad Garafola's Memorial Fund."
100% of the money will go to Deputy Garafola's family.
I also spoke to the BRPD and they are in the process of setting up a fund for their two officers' families so all they are doing now is taking the name of anyone who wants to make a donation along with your phone number and email address. Once they have the process established, they will contact us and give us the donation information.
If you want more information, the phone number to contact the Sheriff's Public Information Office is (225) 389-5091 and the BRPD non-emergency number is (225) 389-2000.
Admins: if this post violates board rules about soliciting, I understand if you delete my post. Thanks.
I wish I had known this 3 hours ago.

Both the BRPD person I spoke with and the Sheriff's office Public Information person could not have been more courteous and helpful.

I want to thank everybody for their love, support and continued prayers. Our hearts are completely broken and still in disbelief of it all. Brad was such wonderful husband, father and friend. He loved his family to the absolute fullest and we were always his number one. He gave his all in everything he did!! As me and the kids piled up in our bed last night we prayed hard and we told each other it was bedthirty because that what daddy always said. Brad I love you so much and I don't know how to do this without you, you're my best friend, my rock and my hero!!!
