The Police Unity Tour
Our Mission Statement
The secondary purpose is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial and Museum.
Police Unity Tour Our History
In May 1997 the Police Unity Tour was organized by Officer Patrick P. Montuore of the Florham Park, NJ Police Department, with the hope of bringing public awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty and to honor their sacrifices. We started in 1997 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. This past May we had over 1600 members nationwide who made the trip, and we are proud to announce that we were able to donate 1.6 Million Dollars to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund bringing our total donations to nearly 12 Million Dollars.

This year will Shirley’s 3rd year riding. Each year she has honored one of our fallen heroes from Baltimore City Police Department. This year she’ll ride in honor of Officer James (Jim) Fowler who was killed on September 27, 2010 in an automobile accident on U.S. 22 in Lewiston, Pennsylvania, while traveling to an accident investigation training course at Penn State University. Officer Fowler was a U.S. Navy veteran and had served with the Baltimore Police Department for 34 years.
