Oklahoma Law Enforcement Officers Unity Bicycle Tour 2019
By David Dickinson
Moore (OK) Police Department
On May 10th, twenty-seven officers from twelve different Oklahoma law enforcement agencies took part in the 5th Annual Oklahoma Law Enforcement Officers Unity Bicycle Tour Ride. Officers rode 12.5 miles in forty-degree weather, against a stiff wind, from the Moore Police Department to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Memorial in Oklahoma City.
The primary purpose of the Unity Tour Ride 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 Oklahoma Law Enforcement Memorial. The Oklahoma Law Enforcement Memorial honors the sacrifices made by fallen officers and is dedicated to the service of all law enforcement officers and their families in that service. It honors all officers who served in or died in what is now the state of Oklahoma.
This year, we were able to raise $790 dollars through the funds raised by the bicycle ride and a chili cook-off during Police Week.
