Each was riding in memory of a fallen officer to honor their memory. For Lieutenant Lewis, two officers were with him in mind and heart, Officer Ken Foley and Motor Officer Paul Dunn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our agency lost Officer Ken Foley on December 4, 2019, after he was found unresponsive in his patrol vehicle while on duty. It is believed Officer Foley suffered a medical episode while on break in his patrol car. Ken was just 57 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just six weeks after losing Ken, Officer Paul Dunn was killed in an on-duty traffic crash on January 9, 2020, while driving his police motorcycle. Paul would have turned 52 last week. Lieutenant Lewis wore a memorial bracelet for both Paul and Ken throughout the ride, as did other riders with different fallen officer names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you to Lieutenant Lewis and all of the riders who participated in the 2021 Police Unity Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past week Lieutenant Mike Lewis suited up once again to ride in honor of fallen police officers by participating in the Police Unity Tour.
