Chapter VIII

Welcome to the home page for Chapter VIII of the Police Unity Tour! Chapter VIII is based in Florida but we welcome members from all other states. We are proud to have riders and support personnel from Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia (just to name a few).

Chapter VIII's inaugural ride was in 2004 when 12 riders and multiple support personnel joined with Virginia's Chapter IV. In 2005 our membership grew to over 55 riders and support personnel. In 2006 we set off to Virginia with 52 riders and 15 support personnel. In 2007 we joined with Chapter VII and had over 130 riders with our support caravan that embarked on the "Tidewater Trail."

In 2007 we continued our partnership with Chapter IV, riding over 230 miles from Portsmouth, Virginia to the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in Washington, D.C. to deliver our raised funds.

2007 was just another awesome year for Chapter VIII and the Police Unity Tour. Our total donation to the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial for 2007 was $1,115,000.00! Chapter VIII & VII spearheaded a new route and broke off from Chapter IV for two days of some of the most beautiful and memorable moments of the ride. We then rejoined Chapter IV and made our way to the Pentagon where we joined with Chapter I and rode to the memorial over 1000 strong!

We are all proud to be part of the Police Unity Tour and we are humbled by the opportunity to "Ride For Those Who Died!"

Please take the time to review our website. The membership page offers you the opportunity to register to participate with us in either a rider or rider support position.


Mission Statement

The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of the Police 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 Police Unity Tour

In May 1997, the Police Unity Tour was organized in an effort to bring about public awareness of law enforcement officers that have died in the line of duty and to honor their sacrifices. Additionally, we assist the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund with monetary support. This mission is primarily accomplished through an annual bicycle trek from various points across the United States to the Memorial, located in Washington, D.C. Since 1997, the Police Unity Tour has raised over $4,300,000.00 for the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund. The 2006 Police Unity Tour was the most financially successful ride to date. We were proud to deliver $1,150,000.00 to the Memorial Fund.
