Charles Ramsey: Philly Top Cop

June 27, 2008 – Police highway patrol and Philadelphia Police Chief, Charles Ramsey have a photo opp. in front of the Art Museum. I stumbled upon this by accident. I drove into the city to do some biking and saw all of the police activity.

What I found out later was that three brand new Harley motorcycles were donated to the Philadelphia Police Highway Patrol Friday.

“The motorcycles were gifts from Bernard and Harriett Gross, James Binns, and Philadelphia residents.“

This is why it pays to have your camera at all times… I think I got some great shots.

People passing by got to try the bikes on for size

Highway patrol officers were in a good mood. I’m always that way when I get new things
