Our Mission;

The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of Law Enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.

Our History;

In May 1997, the Police Unity Tour was organized with the hope of bringing public
awareness of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and to honoring
their sacrifices. We started with 18 riders on a four day fund-raising bicycle ride
from Florham Park, NJ to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in
Washington D.C. which raised $18,000.00.
In late 2005, the Police Unity Tour pledged $5 million in support of the National
Law Enforcement Museum. Inspired by our commitment and our motto, “WE
RIDE FOR THOSE WHO DIED” the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial
Fund has selected our organization to be the sponsor of the Museum’s Hall of
Remembrance.
Having completed the $5 million commitment to the museum in 2009, the Police
Unity Tour dedicated the 2010 ride to the restoration of the walls of the National
Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. The $1.1 million restoration project include
the re-engraving, coating and sealing of the 18,983 names on the memorial as well as
the cleaning of the walls and other memorial improvements.
In 2011, the Police Unity Tour became the official sponsor of the National Law Enforcement
Officers Memorial’s Officer of the Month Program. Officers of the month are
honored at a special awards luncheon each May in Washington D.C. during National
Police Week.
This past May, we had nearly 1700 members across the country who made the trip
and we are proud to announce that we were able to donate over $1.9 million to the
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. This brings our total donations
to nearly $16 million.
