TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)--Preparations got underway Friday afternoon for law enforcement officers heading out to the Police Unity Tour.
The 250-mile bike ride honors those who died.
The officers loaded up their bikes, helmets, and equipment needed for the tour that starts in Portsmouth, Virginia and ends in Washington D.C. at the law enforcement officers memorial wall.
More than 20 people from our area are participating. They leave Tallahassee early Monday morning. The ride is three days. It begins Wednesday.
The group of support staff and officers from the Tallahassee area raised $60,000 with the help of the community. The Police Unity Tour honors the fallen and also raises money for the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial and Museum.
