The Police Unity Tour has been supporting the sacred Memorial since 1997. Starting in Morris County, NJ, these dedicated cyclists spend several days riding to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, DC during National Police Week.
Full or Part-time law enforcement officers and families of fallen officers can participate as riders or support members. Civilians who are employed or affiliated with law enforcement agencies can participate as support members.
Think safety, while conducting Holiday Sobriety Check Points.

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting–one of the most horrific school shootings to ever occur in the United States. Responding and relaying information to the victims' loved ones left a mark on the hearts and minds of the officers involved.
We discuss the initial response that day, how critical events like this affect officers, and the importance of a peer support network.
A special thanks to Officer Guerrero (ret.) for lending us his studio space at Highly Unoffended.

GOOD NEWS SUNDAY!
This young man got a flat tire on the way to his job interview. Sheriff Chad Chronister pulled over to help him and found out he was running late. Sheriff wanted to make sure he got to his interview and drove him there. A few days later, HCSO received a call that he got the job! 🎉
This is what it is all about!

Is it snowing where you are living?!? Definitely seeing some snow flakes here in Washington and Utah.
Just a reminder, winter is a great time to explore the outdoors with your dog, but each dog's cold tolerance is different. Make sure they're comfortable in the cold, and don't forget to check their paws for snow and ice.

The sacred Memorial holds the names of more than 23,000 heroes whose sacrifice is honored and appreciated every day.
We are grateful to have a home that recognizes the sacrifices and valor of law enforcement.
Today, the nation pauses to remember and honor its military veterans.
An inscription on the Memorial sums up the meaning of the heroic and selfless deeds performed by law enforcement and military professionals: "In Valor There is Hope."
As long as there are men and women among us who are willing to put their lives at risk for our freedom and safety, there is great hope for the future of our world.

Founded in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is dedicated to telling the story of American Law Enforcement and making it safer for those who serve.
A nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Washington, DC, the Memorial Fund built and continues to maintain the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial—the nation’s monument to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. The Memorial Fund is a principal organizer of the National Police Week observance each May and hosts a Candlelight Vigil each May 13th to honor all fallen officers. In addition, the Memorial Fund maintains the largest, most comprehensive database of line-of-duty officer deaths, conducts research into officer fatality trends and issues, and serves as an information clearinghouse.
More recently, the Memorial Fund has built the National Law Enforcement Museum, adjacent to the Memorial in Washington, DC. The Museum tells the story of American law enforcement through exhibits, collections, research and education.
The Memorial Fund is governed by a Board of Directors representing 16 of the most prestigious law enforcement organizations in the country. In addition, three major corporate partners serve on the Board of Directors including Motorola, Police Unity Tour, Verizon, and DuPont. The Memorial Fund’s dedicated staff members bring diverse backgrounds and skills to the organization’s mission. The Memorial Fund does not receive taxpayer dollars for its day-to-day operations, but relies on the generous contributions of the public.
Vision Statement
To inspire all citizens to value law enforcement.
Mission Statement
The mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is to tell the story of American law enforcement, honor the fallen and make it safer for those who serve.

Today's 13th Annual YPD BLUE 5K Run for a Cause was truly inspiring, to see such an incredibly large turnout in support of the Yarmouth Police Dept. Relief Association and memorializing the legacy of K9 Sergeant Sean Gannon, Worcester Police Officer Manny Familia in support of The Manny 267 Foundation, Worcester Fire Fighter Lt Jason Menard Fund in support of the Menard Children’s Fund, and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. There are so many people to thank who made today possible, but we're all grateful to the YPD, all of the organizers, the Skipper Chowder House, and to all of the sponsors.
Nascar driver Sheldon Creed is representing all of us today by driving his #2 car wrapped honoring the over 600 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty over the past year.

This is what love looks like.
In the middle of our nation’s Capitol thousands of people gathered to pour love out onto the families of our fallen officers.
We traveled to Washington DC to honor our fallen, Sgt. Dominic Vaca and Detective Armando Cantu. And to support their families.
Red roses were given to the wives, husbands, children and parents of the men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The roses symbolized an emotion not often associated with law enforcement: LOVE.
