[Music] Last month, Tui Dina police officers loaded up their police motorcycles, grabbed some snack bags, and hit the road to head out east. Their destination, Washington, DC to participate in an annual series of events commemorating the contributions and sacrifices made by law enforcement personnel across the country. TV brings you the story of their journey, the support that made it possible, and why this year was especially significant for the participating officers. Every year, members of police departments across the country travel to this special get together. It's the only week throughout each year that law enforcement officers that die in the land of duty are honored. It's a time for families, friends, colleagues can get together, mourn a loss, and pay tribute to their fallen officer. Adina Police is one of the few departments in the Twin Cities to have police motorcycles. When word got out about the trip, community organizations chipped in to support the Adina Crime Prevention Fund. um they've been a a staunch supporter of the Edina Police motorcycle program since as long as I've been here and as long as I've been a motorcycle officer. So, one key part for the Adina Crime Prevention Fund is officer recognition and wellness. National Police Week is attended by between 25 and 40,000 law enforcement officers.

They made us goodie bags with, you know, homemade chocolate chip cookies, popcorn, all sorts of stuff just to get us through the long trip. For Adina Police Sergeant Darren Czek, this trip had a personal connection. We have a Jamal Mitchell who passed and he worked for the Minneapolis Police Department. Burnsville Police Department lost two officers and one paramedic. Matthew Rugie, Paul Elmstrand, and then firefighter Adam Finsath. Adam was a colleague of mine 5 years ago when I worked for a firefighter agency uh near Burnsville. And I thought it was special for this time to be able to go out and honor him. The trip took 2 days. Once there, the contingent from Minnesota, including members of the University of Minnesota and Egan police departments, joined approximately 300 motorcycle police officers from around the country. You know, as far west as California, New Mexico, far south as Miami, Florida. So, they're coming from all across the place. Just getting to work with those guys. There's definitely a camaraderie that comes with being a motor officer. Once there, they had a chance to help out in a significant way. That first day, we got to escort the fallen family members from the Burnsville incident as well as the family members from the Jamal Mitchell incident in Minneapolis. One of…
