Registration: Visit the Police Unity Tour official website (http://www.policeunitytour.com) In 1997, Florham Park Police Officer Patrick Montuore envisioned a powerful way to honor fallen law enforcement officers: a four-day bike ride from New Jersey to Washington, D.C. Thus, the Police Unity Tour was born. From just 18 riders embarking on a fundraising journey, the tour has grown into nine chapters with nearly 2,600 members nationwide, all dedicated to raising awareness and commemorating the sacrifices of their fallen comrades. The challenging ride unites participants in a common goal, and throughout the year, they fundraise and train to ensure a successful event. As the tour concludes at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, emotional reunions unfold between riders and the families of the fallen. Many participants present remembrance bracelets worn during the ride to these families. In May 2022, the Police Unity Tour proudly donated $2.0 million to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, totaling over $33 million in contributions since its inception. The tour now sponsors the National Law Enforcement Museum's Hall of Remembrance and other meaningful programs, perpetuating the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. "
