Wisconsin Motor Officers Ride for “Safe Harbor”
M 24 THE MOTOR OFFICER™
otor officers create a safe harbor for the people they help, because it allows the officer easier and quicker access to accident scenes—where minutes can be the difference between life and death. The motor officers in Madison, WI have also created a safe harbor in their com- munity with the unit’s annual sup-
port of the Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center. Every summer, the Dane County Sheriff’s Office
hosts the “Ron Boylan Motorcycle Ride to Benefit Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center”—a 100-mile fundraiser ride through Wisconsin’s backroads. The ride raised $20,000 in 2013 and over $122,500 in nine years for the charity that aims to reduce the trauma to children who are victims of abuse or neglect, or witnesses to crimes. On August 17, 2013, over 205 riders participated in the ride that was co-sponsored by area restaurant Quaker Steak & Lube, American Family Insurance and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Children’s Hospital. The motorcycle ride was named after Ron Boylan, a Dane
County deputy who always made certain to support the charitable ride. After losing his battle with cancer in 2011,
