Several law enforcement officers within San Francisco are participating in the 2012 Police Unity Tour. The PUT is a four day, 300 mile bicycle ride from northern New Jersey to the National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial in Washington, DC. The PUT’s primary goal is to raise awareness regarding officers killed in the line of duty and to raise funds for the Memorial. All of the 1500 riders are active or retired law enforcement officers from across the United States or surviving family members. The arrival of the PUT at the Memorial marks the opening of National Police Week.
