We were live the morning of May 10 at the send-off for the 2017 Police Unity Tour from the Franklin Township Police Department’s headquarters in the municipal complex on DeMott Lane.

Hundreds of police officers from around the state and the country – as far away as California – assembled at the headquarters to start the three-day trip to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The first leg will stop in Philadelphia, with day two finding the riders in Maryland. They’ll ride into D.C. for a ceremony at the memorial on May 12.

Police officers, Sheriff’s deputies, even FBI agents took part in the ride.
