Unity Tour: Tribute to Jordan Wingate

This year I will participating in the Police Unity Tour and will be riding for Officer Jordan Wingate.

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 second purpose is to raise funds for the Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial and Museum.

The Police Unity Tour is the sponsor of the National Law enforcement Museum Hall of Remembrance, the memorial funds officer of the month award, and recently fallen alert programs.
