The annual Police Unity Tour, honoring officers killed in the line of duty, made a stop at the Fredericksburg Police Department for a rest and short ceremony in honor of fallen officer Todd Bahr.
Bahr was killed last June 6, when a suspect he was on the lookout for, shot him to death.
"It means a lot to us that they stopped here," said Fredericksburg Police Chief David Nye of the bicyclists. "It's great that officers do this every year, but it's especially important to us this year."
The Police Unity Tour began in 1997 as a national event, and this year, a group of 300 Virginia police officers departed from Chesapeake Sunday, then stopped in Fredericksburg for a short time yesterday.
