National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial – Ride & Run to Remember
Last month, it was my honor to ride along with several hundred avid cyclists in support of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund at their annual Ride & Run event in Prince George’s County, Md.
The event was held in honor of fallen officers with a goal to raise funds for the creation of a national law enforcement officer’s museum in Washington, D.C.
Riders assembled at National Harbor before sunrise where we began the 55-mile ride, and I had the opportunity to meet other fellow riders, including Lt. Dan Edwards from Bloomfield Township Police Department in Bloomfield Township, Mich. Lt. Edwards and I were the first 55-milers to cross the finish line, and we posed for a photo as I presented a donation on behalf of Thomson Reuters to the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial.
It was an honor to support such a powerful initiative and with the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police conference last week, the time could not have been better to honor law enforcement.
