The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty.
The secondary purpose is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial and Museum.
The founding members of Chapter IX are comprised of Officers and Civilians from Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Since 2005, when the first Officer from Delaware rode with Chapter 1, the group has grown steadily in numbers. In 2011 the group was joined by a large contingency from the Howard County Police Department in Maryland, and topped off at 51 group members!
The founder of the Tour, Pat Montuore, and the CEO, Harry Phillips, seeing our dedication to the Tour and what it stands for, have allowed our group to seek Chapter Status. Chapter Status is an Honor and a responsibility not to be taken lightly. It is also something that is rarely granted.
We had an incredible 'Inaugural Ride" in 2012 thanks to our many dedicated returning members and our awesome new members! We received very positive feedback and we are excited about our years to come.
Thursday was the start of the Police Unity Tour. Chapter IX left from Philadelphia to arrive in Washington, DC on Mothers Day at the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial. Proud to say that my brother and brother-in-law were participants.
