Among the participants riding this year was Dominique Pelletier, the wife of Connecticut State Police Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier, who was killed during a traffic stop last May.
As soon as she arrived, Dominque and her son Troy first went to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and placed a picture of trooper Pelletier and a state police patch in his memory.
Will Garten, brother of fallen Hartford police officer Bobby Garten, also joined the bike tour.
The Unity Tour is part of National Police Week in the nation's capitol.
