2017 Police Unity Tour Benefit Concert

February 23, 2017 by 911media


Local police officers are raising money for the 2017 Police Unity Tour, an upcoming bicycle ride to honor officers killed in the line of duty. Officers from Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson police are scheduled to participate in the 300-mile ride this May that goes from New Jersey to Washington, D.C.

A benefit concert featuring country music’s Keith Anderson is scheduled for Friday March 10th at 9PM at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country inside Town Square. Tickets are $25. “When the local chapter of the Unity Tour approached us about a benefit concert, we jumped right on it,” said Chris Lowden, owner of Stoney’s Rockin’ Country, “our goal is to raise enough money in one night so every man and woman who wants to participate can do so.”

“Last year we had about two dozen participate and this year we anticipate about 20 riders,” said Richard Golgart, a Police Unity Tour spokesman. “Nationally, we lost 140 police officers last year and this month we lost North Las Vegas Detective Chad Parque while in the line of duty. We want to bring awareness to the ultimate sacrifice so many men and women make,” continued Golgart.

Each rider needs $1850 to participate in the ride. “Our goal is to raise $40,000 so that our police can focus on training for their ride and not how they’re getting to the ride,” said Lowden. The benefit concert will include an auction as well with items donated from local media and businesses.

Tickets can be purchased online here. Tickets are $25 pre-sale and $30 day of the event.

On April 26, 2025, Deputy Sheriff Brandon Sikes of the Columbia County (GA) Sheriff’s Office was killed in the line of duty.

Deputy Sheriff Sikes and his partners were serving a domestic violence protective on a subject. At some point, the savage engaged the deputies in a gunfight, mortally wounding Deputy Sheriff Sikes.

Brandon was 31 years old and had been a cop for nearly seven years. He also served our country in the U.S. Army. He is survived by his wife, daughter, parents, siblings and nephew.

Godspeed, brother.

Great news on this important legislation that amends the existing Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) to allow officers to carry in the same venues where civilian concealed carry permit holders are permitted.

In honor of National Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the fallen heroes of the LVMPD, North Las Vegas P.D. and Henderson P.D. who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our communities. We also remember and honor the federal, state, county, municipal, military, tribal and campus law enforcement officers across the country who gave their lives while upholding the thin blue line. We will never forget.
