Local law enforcement will be traveling through Harford County en route to Washington, D.C., during National Police Week.
HARFORD COUNTY, MD ā Cyclists will be traveling in Harford County in droves this week to honor fallen law enforcement.
The Police Unity Tour takes cyclists from all parts of the country to Washington, D.C., where they will converge at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial on Friday. Having hundreds of police bicycling on roads leading to the memorial raises awareness of those who have died in the line of duty.
Several members of law enforcement in Harford County are participating. They left Delaware Wednesday morning and were departing Chesapeake City Wednesday afternoon, according to the Aberdeen Police Department. Police anticipated arriving in Harford County by 5 p.m.
