HOWELL, NJ – With just one week to go until the start of the 2023 Police Unity Tour, the Howell Police Department is gearing up for its largest-ever contingent of riders.
This year, 18 officers will be participating in the ride, which raises funds for the National Police Memorial for Fallen Officers.
Over the past few months, the officers have been working tirelessly to prepare for the several hundred-mile trek, both physically and mentally. The journey will begin in Belmar and end at the National Police Memorial in Washington D.C. Upon arriving in the nation’s capital, the officers will also take part in National Police Week.
One of the highlights of the week will be the “Top Cop” awards ceremony, during which Howell Police Officer Dan Murphy will be honored as one of 27 officers nationwide to receive the prestigious award.
The Howell Police Department is proud to support the Police Unity Tour and the National Police Memorial for Fallen Officers. The department extends its gratitude to all the officers who have worked so hard to prepare for the ride and wishes them a safe and successful journey.
