Cops Cycling for Survivors First Began in 2002

Cops Cycling for Survivors began more than 20 years ago in 2002 with a ride to Washington, D.C. Now, cyclists ride across Indiana to meet with the survivors of officers who have fallen, in an effort to support them as they continue to grieve the loss of those they love. During the tour, the group reads a memorial for each of the more than 450 Indiana officers who have fallen in the line of duty.
