| 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 Police 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 year we had over 1,100 members nationwide who made the trip and we are proud to announce that we were able to donate 1.3 Million Dollars to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund bringing our total donations to nearly 7 Million Dollars.
In late 2005, the Police Unity Tour® pledged $5 million in support of the National Law Enforcement Museum. Inspired by our motto, "WE RIDE FOR THOSE WHO DIED."®, the National Law Enforcements Officers Memorial Fund has selected our organization to be the sponsor of the Museum's Hall of Remembrance.
