Hello, I went to police week twice this week. I purchased a t-shirt and a new badge holder. I really enjoy this event. It makes me feel real good to be a police detective. I rode my bike to work in D.C. since Sundays Law Ride. The traffic is crazy. I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this but most of the crazy drivers in D.C. have Virginia tags. I am awaiting the chance to try out for the motor unit. I think it is one of the mosthonorable duties on the police department. Ihave been a detective for seven years. But I am ready to give it up to go to motors.

 

Hey Hardcore,
I was probably within feet of you as you escorted those buses to the memorial. I was one of the officers escorting the survivors to their seats when they got off those buses. I rode up to DC on my bike (bicycle) in the Police Unity Tour. I rode from Portsmouth to DC (227 miles) on my bicycle. Being there at the memorial was a very humbling experience.

Did the Law Ride on Sunday from RFK great event. Down in Old Town Alexandria VA tonight and met up with two officers in town from Washington state. Met some others on Sunday in from Texas. Man these guys are devoted

 

I have never Been to DC for LEO week, but hope to before I die.
I retired 11 years ago due to line of duty injuries. I am able to run my litttle busines (www.madisonpolicesupply.com) and do ride my bike year round.
I live in South WI in the summer and South Texas in the winter.

Kudo's to all LEO's. May you all be safe.......................

 

Storm 4 u,

Every year I do the law ride the amount of time it takes for the lot to clear out seems to get longer. Where in the lot were you? I came in toward the end and left toward the end. It seemed like it took at least 10-15 minutes for the lot to clear. What a sound to hear the constant rumble from when the pack of motor units pull out until the end. Quite the sight!

Hey Storm - I was one of the motor units leading you into DC - [after clearing the intersections first..lol] hope you hade a good ride!

 

Hardcore we had a great time as usual and thanks for the lead
Neil we were at the bottom of the lot about midway by the black trailer

 

Got back from D.C. late last night. Had a great time. This was my second trip (last was 1995). Spent way too much money, my legs hurt from all the walking, ate too much, drank too much, too many t-shirts. A week of over-indulgence! Highly recommended! And I couldn't believe all the bikes, they were everywhere!!

 

Kurt were you one of the LEO's I heard about in the news?
Down on FSt raising the roof, if so Good Job!!

 

Ha Ha, no that wasn't me, I made the news in '95 but not this time!! I stayed at the Embassy Suites and the cleaning lady told me that the 14th floor (not mine) was a disaster area, she was pretty upset. I heard one of the other hotel managerscleared out an entire floor when things got a little wild. I'm all for lettin the old hair down once in a while, especially at a function like this, but a LITTLE self-restraint is sometimes a good thing!!
