🏍️💙 We’re proud to share that Dustyn Monismith is riding in the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge in support of Band of Blue and officer su***de awareness.

Hoka Hey is a 10,000-mile endurance ride inspired by the warrior spirit of the Lakota people and rooted in a mission to raise awareness and support for meaningful social causes. More than a ride, it is a true test of physical, mental, and emotional strength.

Dustyn is once again taking on this incredible challenge to help support the families of fallen law enforcement officers—and to shine a light on the importance of mental wellness within the law enforcement community.

🚔 Honoring Our Heroes 🕯️

Each May, the Kenosha community gathers at the Kenosha Public Safety Monument on Antonio Pingitore Way for the annual Kenosha Law Enforcement Memorial Service—a solemn tribute to those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

This ceremony honors local heroes, including:
👮 Jacob Keul (1922)
👮 James C. Rieschl (1961)
👮 Donald Murphy (1953)
👮 Gary W. Fraid (1973)
👮 Blanco Aquino (1991)
👮 Dreux Beaulier (2004)
👮 Frank Fabiano Jr. (2007)

In 2025 alone, 111 law enforcement officers and 23 K9 officers across the U.S. made the ultimate sacrifice—a 25% decrease from 2024. We remember them. We honor them. We carry their legacy forward.

This meaningful service brings together officers, elected officials, community leaders, and residents to stand united in remembrance.

Three years ago, Band of Blue was honored to work with the family of Lt. Adam Gustafson sending them to Hawaii, which was originally an anniversary trip that Adam and his wife Amber planned to do together.

Lieutenant Adam Gustafson of West Fargo, ND, suffered a fatal heart attack after attending the department's outdoor range. He was a U.S. Army combat veteran and had served with the West Fargo Police Department for 10 years. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

The month of May is a special one for the field of law enforcement. Not only is it Mental Health Awareness Month, but May 10 – 16 is Police Week, a time dedicated to honoring the memory of the law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The officers who protect us must also be protected against incapacitating mental and emotional health problems, as well as against the hazards of their job.

This week is the National Police week (May 10th - May 16th). During National Police Week, we take time to honor the men and women in law enforcement who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. This weeklong recognition coincides with National Peace Officers Memorial Day which is Friday, May 15th. Each year during this week, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers travel to Washington, DC, to remember those who lost their lives in the line of duty.

What can you do to honor the men and women in blue? Take time out of your day to acknowledge the law enforcement officers in our community. A simple thank you can go a long way.
