Members of the Lakewood Police Department are once again preparing to take part in the annual Police Unity Tour, joining thousands of law enforcement officers from across the country in a multi-day bicycle ride to honor officers who have fallen in the line of duty.

Through Police Unity Tour Chapter 10, Team Lakewood is seeking community support to help fund its participation in the 400-mile ride from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., which raises awareness and provides critical support for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and its programs.

Police Unity Tour Chapter 10

Team Lakewood

Dear Supporter,

This year team Lakewood has multiple members of the department participating in the Police Unity Tour. The Police Unity Tour is a bicycle ride where thousands of Police Officers from across the country come together in support of Officers who have fallen in the line of duty. The motto of the tour is “We ride for those who died,” and is designed to raise awareness about Americas fallen officers.

This tour consists of a multi-day bicycle ride that spans approximately 400 miles from New Jersey to Washington D.C. The participants are looking for financial support of business owners within the community to ensure our members are able to participate.

A few sombering statistics:

Approximately every 50 hours a peace officer is killed protecting our families and communities. There have been 60,105 assaults against law enforcement officers in 2020 resulting in 18,568 injuries. On average 214 officers are killed in the line of duty each year.

The National Law Enforcement memorial honors America’s fallen law enforcement heroes who have died in the line of duty. Their mission is to tell the story of America’s law enforcement officers and make it safer for those who serve.

Our participation in the Police Unity Tour helps sponsor the Memorial and its programs like the Officer of the month Award and other special projects. With every dollar that we raise for the Police Unity Tour, we are doing my part to honor our nations law enforcement officers. Please help by supporting our fundraising efforts with a donation. Thank you for your generous support!
