My participation in the Tour De Force began in 2007 following the 2006 line of duty death of my police academy classmate Michael Briggs. Since then, I have ridden every year raising money to support the families of our brother and sister officers killed in service to their communities.

Both families and communities feel the pain when an officer pays the ultimate price. The loss is especially challenging for the families and the money that the Tour De Force gives a family can help to lessen some of the financial burden.

Your donations are so very important as we have lost so many officers in recent years. As of 4/22/2025, American communities have lost 21 officers in the line of duty this year alone.

Every little bit helps so please consider supporting this worthy cause.

Thank you,

Bob Frechette
