On September 18 this year police from around Australia will ride to the National Police Memorial in Canberra for a special service to honour police who have paid the ultimate price in the line of duty in the inaugural Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance.
Organised by National Police Memorial Executive, The Police Association of Victoria, New South Wales Police Association, and police motorcyclists within the police family in the ACT, Victoria and New South Wales, rides to the service will begin in Melbourne and Sydney departing on September 17 and 18 respectively. The riders will all meet on the outskirts of Canberra on Saturday, September 18 and ride to the memorial together.
The Wall to Wall Ride will remember and honour those police officers who have fallen in the line of duty and promote safe and lawful motorcycling whilst raising awareness and money for Australian Police Legacies.
Monies raised will be donated to Police Legacy organisations of your choice in each state. These charitable organisations provide a range of services and ongoing support to police families who have lost a loved one.
The Victorian ride is being planned by a committee of current and serving police members and is chaired by Brian Rix, President of the Police Association in Victoria and Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy in New South Wales. It is endorsed by New South Wales and Victoria Police and the patron in Victoria is Deputy Commissioner Sir Ken Jones, himself a keen motorcyclist. The WA Police Commissioner is also expected to be a participating rider.
