Rewind: FH Chief Breckenridge’s Police Unity Tour Ride

It’s the time of year for police officers to “ride for those who died” in the Police Unity Tour.
And at Monday night’s Fair Haven Borough Council meeting, Mayor Ben Lucarelli took a moment to recognize that Chief Darryl Breckenridge would be embarking, once again, on the tour set to depart for Washington D.C. on May 9 and arrive on May 12.
“Good luck Chief,” the mayor said at the meeting. “And thank you for all you do.”
So, the Retro Pic of the Day offers a glimpse back to 2013 and the chief’s ride, his daughter Witney by his side then.
The chief said she would not be joining him this year, but he’s set for the roughly 350-mile ride on his bicycle.
In addition to creating awareness, the ride raises funds for the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial and Museum.
The event, which started in 1997 with 18 riders was designed to bring “public awareness of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and (to) honor their sacrifices,” according to the Unity Tour’s website. It garnered $18,000 then.
The Unity Tour, as of last year, had raised $16 million. About 20,000 officers who died in the line of duty are memorialized at the Washington memorial.
Good luck to the chief and all other area police officers riding in this year’s tour!
