Police Unity Tour rides into Toms River today
Some 500 participants of the annual Police Unity Tour bicycle into downtown Toms River this afternoon.
The tour will make a stop for a courtyard ceremony between 4 and 5:30 p.m. next to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office on Hooper Avenue. Officials say to expect some traffic and parking restrictions.
The tour makes its way to Washington, D.C. each spring to honor fellow police officers killed in the line of duty. Participating officers use the event to raise money for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
