For Police Week 2025, Deputy M. Kalkbrenner of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office completed 288 miles of riding, to honor fallen officers and to remember the survivors.  

“This ride was not easy, but well worth it,” said Kalkbrenner.  

Kalkbrenner and the men and women of Law Enforcement United, arrived in Washington, D.C., as part of the Road To Hope 2025 to pay tribute to all the officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

This year, Kalkbrenner rode in honor of Halifax County Sheriff’s Deputy William Goodwin.

On Kalkbrenner’s return and in keeping with the theme of Police Week, Kalkbrenner honored the survivors.  

Goodwin was survived by his daughter Gina Goodwin.

On Kalkbrenner’s way to Washington he Deputy Kalkbrenner carried on his vest, Goodwin’s name; on his bike a placard with Goodwin’s information and a flag.  

Those items were presented to Gina by the deputy and Sheriff Tyree Davis by her side.  

Kalkbrenner also presented the medal he received at the competition of the ride to Goodwin’s daughter.

On his vest and bike, the names of all he has ridden for on past events.  

Kalkbrenner will continue his tradition by now carrying Goodwin’s name with him on next year’s ride.

“The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the community for the prayers and donations, allowing Deputy Kalkbrenner to safely make this very special bicycle ride in honoring the fallen officers and remembering the survivors,” Davis said.
