Support Officers in Police Unity Tour

Here's information provided by the Livermore Police Department:

On May 9th, 2013, hundreds of law enforcement officers from across the United States will take part in a four day, 300 mile bicycle ride that starts at various locations and culminates at the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC. The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness for Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty. The Police Unity Tour also raises money for the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial and Museum located in Washington DC.

The Livermore Police Department is proud to announce and support two of their officers who will be participating in this event. Officer Cindy Moore, a 15 year veteran, is participating in the event for the 2nd time. Officer Elaine Briggs, a 14 year veteran, is participating in the event for the 4th time. Officer Briggs and Officer Moore are riders with the Chapter 13 Northern CA Police Unity Tour. On May 9th, they will begin their ride in Hanover, New Jersey. On May 12th, they will join other officers from across the nation and ride as one to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC.

Officer Briggs and Officer Moore have vowed to raise $2,500 each to support the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Officers Moore and Briggs are asking for the community’s support in their efforts to represent the City of Livermore and the Livermore Police Department in the Police Unity Tour.
