Memorial Motorcycle Ride Planned


Apr 27, 2019 - 9:00 am

The Pennsylvania State Police Museum and the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club will hold the 15th annual "Soldiers of the Law" Memorial Motorcycle Ride on Saturday, April 27, at the Pennsylvania State Police Academy. Participants will receive a light breakfast, a guided tour of the academy, a self-guided tour of the museum, an event pin, a police-escorted 85-mile ride and a lunch at the academy following the ride.

The ride will begin and end behind the Pennsylvania State Police Academy on Academy Drive which turns off Hersheypark Drive, directly across from Tanger Outlets. Participants will be able to enjoy rural riding at a casual pace in the mountains and valleys of Dauphin, Lebanon and Schuylkill counties, with traffic control provided by law enforcement.

Ride staging will be from 9 to 11 a.m. A one-hour tour of the academy will take place at 9:30 a.m., and the ride will depart at 11 a.m. following a memorial ceremony. There is a fee to participate. Commemorative shirts are limited and can also be preordered to ensure the correct size.

This year, the group will remember fallen Pennsylvania law enforcement officers lost during active duty in 2018. Proceeds from the ride will support the museum and the families of fallen officers.
