My name is Detective Michael Nicolas for those of you who don't know me. I am A 16-year member of the Elizabeth police department in Elizabeth NJ. I am also a 23-year veteran of the US Army. I will be riding in the Police Unity tour which is a 4 day 272 mile bicycle ride from NY/NJ to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington DC. We ride in honor of those who died in the line of duty. The 2025 Police Unity tour is a tough one for us. This year we will be adding one of our own to the wall. We know that with the economy it is tough for people to make a donation. But without donors like you, this would not be possible. So I ask from the bottom of my heart if you can donate please do help us make the long trip to Washington D.C. to add one of our brothers to the wall.
