For more than a century, Harley-Davidson Motor Company has been supplying motorcycles to America's law enforcement agencies. That tradition continues as they help recognize those who have served America’s communities.

The Milwaukee motorcycle manufacturer is playing its part in helping to write a new chapter in law enforcement history through a unique partnership to support the first-ever National Law Enforcement Museum. For the fourth year in row the Harley-Davidson Motor Company has donated a motorcycle to support the National Law Enforcement Museum--in this case, a 2010 Road King Peace Officer Special Edition.

The motorcycle will be raffled with the proceeds going to build the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, DC. Six thousand tickets will be sold for the raffle which sees the winning on drawn on the evening of Thursday, October 14, during the Inaugural Gala celebrating the National Law Enforcement Museum's groundbreaking.

Tickets can be bought either over the phone or in person at the Memorial Fund's Visitors Center & Store, located at 400 7th Street, NW, Washington, DC with more details found online here.

This is the fourth time the museum and Harley-Davidson have teamed up, raising more than $135,000 for the Museum campaign. The previous winners were a U.S. Border Patrol agent from California who had been on special assignment to Washington, DC; a Florida woman who had been riding on the back of her husband's Harley-Davidson® for two decades; and a corrections lieutenant from New Jersey who recently retired and now spends much of his time touring New England on his new motorcycle.

Authorized by Congress in the year 2000, the National Law Enforcement Museum is an architecturally inspiring, 55,000-square-foot, mostly underground museum that will be located adjacent to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in downtown DC. The Museum will tell the story of American law enforcement through high-tech, interactive exhibits, collections, research and education. Groundbreaking for the Museum will take place on October 14, 2010, with a projected opening in late 2013.

"Harley-Davidson Motor Company has a long and distinguished history of supporting law enforcement in our country, so it was not surprising that the Company would step up early in the campaign to support the National Law Enforcement Museum and would remain a strong and reliable partner ever since," said Craig W. Floyd, the Memorial Fund's chairman and CEO.
