The
17 members of the Prince George's County Police Unity Tour Cycling team logged
hundreds of miles through 4 states over 4 days. The Unity Tour honors
fallen law enforcement officers and raises money for their surviving families
and proceeds for the National Law Enforcement Memorial. Our team crossed
the finish line at the Memorial in Washington DC Friday afternoon.
During
the ride, our officers stopped in Wilmington, Delaware where they placed a
wreath at the gravesite of fallen Prince George's County Police Detective Jacai
Colson. Colson was killed in the line of duty on March 13th, 2016.
When
the team arrived in Prince George's County Friday morning, they put down their
bikes for a ceremony honoring fallen Detective Colson outside of our District
III station where Colson was killed.
Our
team represents officers and detectives from across our department. Among
them was our department's first ever woman to participate, Corporal Quiana
Keeve who is assigned to our training academy.
