The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of law enforcement officers who have died in line of duty. The secondary reason is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial and Museum.

This years ride will be in the memory of, Correctional Administrator Debra Kay Porter-Johnson from the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
