I am excited to be participating in the Police Unity Tour with Chapter 4!
I am currently a law enforcement professional and have been for fourteen years. The Unity Tour is a great way to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and along with being a law enforcement offficer, I am also honoring a family member who lost his life while serving his community:
My great-grandfather, Noah Studebaker was a police officer with the Piqua Police Department and tragically lost his life while serving his community. Here is his story:
Lieutenant Noah Studebaker succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained eight years earlier as he and his partner investigated a burglary in progress at 119 North Main Street.
As the two officers approached the building a suspect inside opened fire with a shotgun, striking Lieutenant Studebaker in the face, neck, chest, arms, and legs. His partner was also wounded.
Several of the pellets could not be removed and caused chronic pain and illness until finally causing his death.
Lieutenant Studebaker had served with the Piqua Police Department for 20 years. He was survived by his wife and daughter.
The Police Unity Tour’s motto is: “We Ride for Those Who Died” and we raise awareness about America’s law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. I hope you will support me by making a donation to my page today.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial (NLEOM) honors our nation's fallen law enforcement heroes who have died in the line of duty. Their mission is to tell the story of America’s law enforcement officers, keep their memories alive, and make it safer for those who serve. To date, the Police Unity Tour has raised more than $20 million dollars for the NLEOM.
My participation in the Police Unity Tour helps raise money for the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial and the National Law Enforcement Museum, which is currently under construction across from the Memorial. Your donation helps sponsor specific Memorial programs like the Officer of the Month Award, Recently Fallen Alert notifications, and other special projects. Past projects funded by the Police Unity Tour include the $1.1 million dollar re-engraving of every fallen officer's name on the Memorial wall. The Police Unity Tour is also funding the purchase and installation of electronic kiosks at the Memorial to assist those visiting the site to quickly locate the names of our fallen on the Memorial wall.
With every dollar that I raise for the Police Unity Tour, I’m doing my part to honor our nation’s fallen law enforcement officers and support the survivors left behind. Your donation will truly make a difference!
Thank you for your generous support!
