RESPECT, HONOR & REMEMBRANCE

The annual Police Unity Tour is a ride to remember. Every moment of every mile…it’s about the fallen. It is about bringing awareness to their sacrifice, their memory, and their legacy of service. Never to be forgotten!

This year on May 22nd marks the 10-year anniversary of the line-of-duty murder of Leicester and Auburn PD’s Ronald Tarentino Jr.. Hardly a moment goes by that Ron’s memory is not on the mind of those who work at the Leicester PD. And for those who had the honor of serving with him, the meaning goes even deeper. This year, two of those men who worked with Ron, ride in his memory.

Sergeant Craig Guertin and Officer Michael Lombardozzi are embarking on a nationally organized bicycle ride, along with 2,000 fellow officers from across the country. This 300-mile journey, which gathers in New Jersey on May 9th, arrives together in formation at the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial in Washington, D.C. on May 12th. This date coincides with Police Week, and marks National Peace Officers Memorial Day which falls on May 15th. It’s an incredible tribute to the nation’s fallen!

Since the Police Unity Tour began in 1994 tens of thousands of riders, across the nation’s 8 chapters, have relied on generous donors to support the mission and the various programs that the NLEOMF supports. We would like to thank this year’s donors for their support and generosity: Bay State Savings Bank, Ben’s Tackle Shack, Cherry Valley American Legion, Cornerstone Bank, Dippin’ Donuts, Hudson Police Union, Leicester Rod & Gun Club, Marlborough Police Union, Miles Press, Officer Ronald Tarentino Jr. Charitable Foundation, Pepin’s Storage, Project New Hope, Sturbridge Police Union & Walmart.

For those interested, the following video was produced by the California Highway Patrol to highlight their leg of the 2025 Police Unity Tour which demonstrates the magnitude of the tour and the ceremonial arrival an the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Leicester EMS was invited to the annual Regional Public Health Day! We were happy to see so many vendors present to promote health awareness and resources available to our community. We demonstrated hands-on CPR to residents of all ages and introduced them to two of our most essential devices: the LUCAS Chest Compression System and LifePak15 Cardiac Monitor. These devices allow us to provide the highest quality of care during a cardiac arrest. Leicester EMS is hopeful to upgrade these devices to their current models to support not only the ever-changing advancements of emergency medicine but also our personnel's lifesaving capabilities. We thank you all for your continued support! As always, stay safe!
