Riding In Memory Of
This past Sunday, motorcycle riders from across the state participated in the 16th annual C.O.P.S. ride, which benefited the Maryland chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.). The Maryland chapter of C.O.P.S. is a non-profit organization that provides support and assistance to the family members of officers killed in the line of duty. Specifically, to those who served on a police department within the state of Maryland. Members from the University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) along with other Maryland Police agencies assisted with this special event that raised almost a $100,000 dollars that will go to helping the surviving family members who lost their loved one from a line of duty death. The success of this event would not be possible without the continued support from sponsors, volunteers, riders, and donations. However, remembrance and support doesn’t end with this event, but continues year round.
