What is the Law Enforcement Torch Run®?

The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics is to raise funds for and awareness of the Special Olympics movement worldwide. Law enforcement officers from the 50 United States, 10 Canadian provinces and territories, and 32 countries carry the Flame of Hope in honor of the Special Olympics athletes in their area and around the world.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run® is the largest grass-roots fund-raiser and public awareness vehicle for Special Olympics in the world. In 2002, this international program raised US$20.5 million to support Special Olympics programs; the total raised since the Torch Run's inception in 1981 is US$113 million. More than 80,000 law enforcement officers from thousands of agencies have carried the Flame of Hope.

The International Association of Chiefs of Police is the founding law enforcement organization of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.
