Each rider wears a memorial wristband carrying the name of an officer or member of police staff who died while serving the public. It is also a reminder that the tour is not really about the miles covered or the physical challenge. When a police officer or member of staff dies on duty, the impact extends far beyond the workplace. The charity provides practical and emotional support, peer networks and counselling to help families rebuild their lives after unimaginable loss. The Police Unity Tour reflects many of the values that sit at the heart of policing in Devon and Cornwall.
