Why Should You Join the
Guardians of the Flame?
We are always looking for new Law Enforcement agencies to get involved in our Law Enforcement Torch Run fundraising and public awareness efforts. All branches of Law Enforcement are welcome, including military personnel. There is nothing that can compare to placing a medal around a competing Special Olympics athlete’s neck or the sense of satisfaction knowing the funds you raised at a fundraiser will support the Special Olympics programs right in your own community.
Join the ranks of over 2,000 Law Enforcement personnel (both sworn and civilian) throughout Louisiana who are changing the lives of children and adults with intellectual disabilities through their involvement in the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR).
We have a Law Enforcement Executive Council who have years of Torch Run and Special Olympics knowledge between them and are happy to help you get started. Our staff dedicated to the Law Enforcement Torch Run will support you in your efforts to get engaged.
