This year myself (Shirley NHT Sgt), Sgt Richard Cooke (Bloxwich NHT) and Ch. Supt Andy Beard (Wolverhampton NPU) will be representing West Midlands Police as part of the Police Unity Tour along with colleagues from West Mercia and Warwickshire. We will be starting the long distance cycle ride from Hindlip Hall, Worcester on Friday 31st July making our way to the National Memorial Arboretum just outside of Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire over a three day period.

We will be riding in remembrance of fallen members of the police family from West Midlands Police and all across the country. Please help us to raise funds for COPS who provide immeasurable amounts of support for those left behind following the loss of an officer on duty.

The Police Unity Tour is a long-distance cycle ride undertaken by hundreds of police officers across the UK. The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty. The secondary purpose of the UK tour is to raise funds for Care of Police Survivors, a UK charity dedicated to helping the families of police officers and police staff who have lost their lives on duty. The cyclists will finish their journey at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, where a Service of Remembrance is being held by COPS for their fallen friends and colleagues.
