Law enforcement officers around the world go above and beyond the call of duty in support of Special Olympics through the Law Enforcement Torch Run.®

Today local law enforcement officers and employees participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run to raise awareness for Special Olympics. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Pensacola Police Department and other law enforcement carried the torch from the ECSO Admin building on Leonard Street to Bartram Park in downtown Pensacola.

Over 300 Florida agencies participate in the state-wide torch run to benefit the athletes of Special Olympics Florida. Each year, over 5,000 officers carry the torch on a 1500-mile relay through 66 counties in Florida.

Funds are generated through contributions from individuals and businesses along the way and through sales of the popular Torch Run T-shirts and caps.
