AFTER a two-year hiatus due to covid, more than 650 NSW Police motorcycle riders and colleagues from across the country will take part in the annual Wall to Wall: Ride for Remembrance from The Domain in Sydney to the national Police memorial in Canberra this morning (September 17).

The charity ride began in 2009 and is a police memorial motorbike ride that commemorates the service and sacrifices of fallen Australian police, raises funds in support of their families and promotes motorcycle safety.

Riders start at their jurisdictions’ dedicated place of remembrance and reflection and make their way to the national capital, before making a final gesture of police solidarity and remembrance in one large group ride to the National Police Memorial.

The ride consists of serving and retired police members, sworn and unsworn, and other friends, family and supporters of police.

The NSW contingent will travel from the NSW Police Wall of Remembrance in Sydney to the National Police Memorial in Canberra, where they will participate in a service to honour those who have fallen.

As the group travels south along the Hume Highway, riders who began their journey from Kiama and Dubbo will join the contingent.

All funds raised during the Wall to Wall ride by the NSW contingent will go toward NSW Police Legacy, which provides care and support to more than 20,000 serving and retired police officers and their families during times of tragedy and need.
