Had one drive by my house today and thought to myself that it had been years since I saw one. They used to be common growing up in the 60's and into the 70's. Can't believe the motorcycle cops do it for free.

This was a pretty long one. 100 cars or so. Saw at least 4 cycle cops. Lights and sirens to boot.

None of the agencies I've worked for charged for funeral escorts

The escort is free.

The tickets to the PBA or Chief/Sheriff's dinner are not.

I always assumed it was either free or the funeral home took care of it as part of the service so the cost was invisible to whoever paid for the funeral.

I stand corrected then. Thanks.
Guess I'm just jaded about living in OR for so long. Nothing here is free. Unless you are a druggie or homeless.

Our sheriffs office does it for free. But I have heard the funeral home still charges you for it. If you were a veteran, the Patriot Guard Riders will give an escort for free. If they have a chapter in your area.

My County does it free using the Sheriffs Reserve.

Same… it’s good PR for a chief who wants to be sheriff, or a sheriff to ingratiate himself with voters. But even free, that’s not to say the funeral home doesn’t apply some surcharge

Question is, were they real cops? I've seen guys wearing CHP uniforms with security patches on their shoulders.

Define free. Free to the taxpayer?
