The 2016 State Ride is set for Friday, March 18-25, 2016…

The State Ride is an annual, week long motorcycle ride that visits every Florida police department who lost an officer during the previous year. You will have the rare opportunity to meet the family, friends and co-workers who were a part of the Fallen Officers everyday life. This is a way to express ourselves in a one-on-one basis with those who were closest with that officer. In 2015, Florida had two officers killed in the line of duty from two different counties. Everyone is invited to attend all or any part of this event and all type of vehicles are able to participate. If you are not able to attend any part of this event, you may support our efforts by purchasing the 2016 State Ride shirts by visiting the registration page. If you have any questions and would like to help in any way, don’t be scared to reach out and volunteer…
