At least 35 law enforcement officers and family members of officers killed in the line of duty will bike their way through Savannah on Wednesday.

Each rider will be honoring an officer killed in the line of duty.

Sgt. Robert “Bobby” Crapse Sr. of the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office, killed in a head-on crash on Interstate 95 on June 15, will be honored by one of the riders.

The goal is to raise $250,000 for the Officer Down Memorial Page and Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS.)

Riders will begin at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick and be joined along the route with some 350 riders who’ll peddle into Washington on May 12. 

The first leg of the Law Enforcement United, referred to as the FLETC Long Ride, should arrive in Savannah about 11 a.m. Wednesday, as more than 35 bicyclists begin the trek from Brunswick.

Savannah-Chatham police will escort the procession through Chatham County, with a stop for lunch at the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge on Grove Point Road.
