The

The

is
to
raise

awareness
for
Special

Arizona
statewide.
This
year's
Arizona

began
in
seven
locations
across
the
state
April
30th
through
May
6th,
2016.
These
seven
flames
were
carried
throughout
Arizona,
culminat-
ing
with
the
lighting
of
the
torch
at
the
Special

Summer
Games.
Last
year,
there
were
over
4,500
law
enforcement
personnel
and
150
agencies
including
the
bordering
country
of
Mexico's
Police
Department
who
participanted
in
the
7
legs
of
the
Arizona
Law
Enforcement
Torch
Run
week.
There
were
individuals
who
ran,
walked,
cycled
and
even
kayaked
their
portion
of
the
run.
Many
Special
Olympics
athletes
joined
law
enforcement
in
their
part
of
the
run
along
with
various
schools
and
businesses
through-
out
the
state
who
cheered
on
their
local
law
enforcement
sup-
porting
their
community.
