The Police Unity Tour Inc. Chapter II

Welcome to the home page for Chapter II of the Police Unity Tour! Chapter II is based in Central and Southern New Jersey.

In May 1997 the Police Unity Tour Inc. was organized by Officer Patrick P. Montoure of the Florham Park Police Department, with the hope of bringing public awareness of Police Officers who have died in the line of duty and to honor their sacrifices.  The Police Unity Tour started in 1997 with 18 riders on a four day fund raising bicycle ride from Florham Park, NJ to the National Law Enforcement Police Officers Memorial in Washington D.C. and raised $18,000.00.

In 2011 Chapter II represented 200 of the 1,400 members who made the trip.  Our membership was comprised of members from 7 of  the 38 States represented in the Tour.  We are proud to announce that the Police Unity Tour Inc. was able to raise $1.5 Million Dollars in total.  From that total The Police Unity Tour Inc. was able to donate $1.1 million to the cost of restoring the National Police Officers Memorial.

Inspired by our commitment and our Motto, "WE RIDE FOR THOSE WHO DIED"®, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund has selected The Police Unity Tour Inc. to be the sponsor of the Museum Hall of Remembrance.

Chapter II

In 1999, 22 members from Southern New Jersey began Chapter II seeing the need to expand the Unity Tour Family. Since then we have grown from 22 to over 200+ members.

Each year we depart from a central or southern New Jersey town and continue on with stops in Delaware and Maryland.  On the last day we merge with Chapter I (North Jersey) and renew our partnership by riding together to the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Chapter II starts each year by completing a memorial ride in honor of a fallen brother or sister. In 2011 we continued that tradition by riding from Howell Twp. NJ where we honored Trooper Marc Castellano.  We continued our Memorial Ride by making stops in Lakewood Twp. to honor Ptl. Chris Matlosz and Ptl. William Preslar, Jackson Twp to honor Robert Ventura and Manchester Twp. to honor Ptl. Robert Tobias.  The 2011 Memorial Ride was named the Robert T. Tobias Memorial Ride and we were honored to have John Tobias, his brother ride with us on the 36th Anniversary of his brother's Final Watch.  The Tobias Family was there to support John and Chapter II and to remind us that they and he will Never Be Forgotten!

We are all proud to be part of the Police Unity Tour and we are humbled by the opportunity to "RIDE FOR THOSE WHO DIED"®
