SPD Members Participate in Police Unity Tour
City of Summit
Summit Police Officer Keith Kwiatek and Juvenile Detective Sean Thompson participated in the Police Unity Tour, a four-day bicycle ride from New Jersey to Washington, D.C. The Police Unity Tour was formed in 1997 and its mission is to raise public awareness about law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.
Officer Kwiatek and Juvenile Detective Thompson rode with hundreds of law enforcement officers to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. As they departed on Monday, May 9, from Parsippany, NJ, they were joined by other Summit Police Department members, and were cheered on by the family of former Summit Police Detective Matthew Tarentino in Somerville, NJ. On Thursday, May 12, in Washington, D.C. they were joined by SPD Detective Lieutenant Michael Rabasca and Summit Policeman’s Benevolent Association #55 President Ryan Stanek, former Police Unity Tour participants.
