The idea was simple: provide local law enforcement with opportunities to volunteer with Special Olympics in communities where the officers lived and worked. The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics is an international series of torch relays, sports-based awareness events, and fundraisers run by law enforcement officers. Events support athletes lead- ing up to each state's or nation's Summer Games. Law enforcement of- ficers raise money in conjunction with respective torch runs for their local Special Olympics programs. Throughout the course of the Torch Run, participants collect contribu- tions from individuals and businesses, asking to help raise support for in- credible Special Olympics athletes. The Torch Run is much more than just a run; it is a year-round campaign to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics Arizona. QPD's motto, "Our Community, Our Commitment" has driven the depart- ment to be actively involved in more community events of great importance such as the Law Enforcement Special Olympics Torch Run. QPD is raising money in several ways to help contribute to this special and important program year-round. In the past the department and sponsors have contributed a minimal amount. This year is more special than the last, as QPD has the patch on the shirt. The department and community efforts has placed QPD in the Top Fundraising Per Capita Contributors for 2017! 100% of all money raised for the Law Enforcement Torch Run goes di- rectly to support Special Olympics athletes in Arizona and their support- ing programs. 95% of all money that is given to Special Olympics Arizona goes directly to support Special Olympics programs and athletes.
