Ride for those who died
On May 9, more than 200 bicycling police officers participating in the 16th annual Police Unity Tour visited the Newark, N.J., Police Memorial on their way from Ground Zero in New York to Washington, D.C. The officers came from across the nation, the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, and Australia to raise awareness of and funds for the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial and Museum. Here, bikers head out from Newark after visiting the memorial. This week, May 13-19, 2012, is National Police Week, a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America's law enforcement community. In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day.
