Ride4COPS Update
 In May and June 2011, Harry Herington visited the state capitols of Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and our nation's capitol, Washington, DC, for Ride4COPS. Two years ago, Herington founded Ride4COPS and committed to riding his customized Harley-Davidson motorcycle to every state capitol to raise public awareness of the inherent dangers faced by law enforcement officers and the need to support families of fallen officers. At each stop, Herington makes a donation of $1,000 and participates in a public rally with police officers and families of slain officers. The money raised by Ride4COPS goes to the local chapters of Concerns of Police Survivors. Herington has also donated $25,000 annually to National C.O.P.S. Since the start of Ride4COPS, Harry has visited 18 state capitols. To learn more visit www.ride4cops.com.
