FBPD Teams up with Marlboro Police for 2013 Police Unity Tour

Tickets are on sale for the annual Community Excellence Gala.

The Freehold Police Department is joining forces with the Marlboro Police Department to ride down to Washington D.C. for the annual Police Unity Tour.

The Police Unity Tour is a four-day bike ride that starts in New Jersey and ends in Washington DC at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, which honors officers who have been killed in the line of duty.

Over the years, the tour has raised over $15 million dollars, some of which supports families of fallen officers.
