Each year, officers from the Nebraska State Patrol join more than 200 officers from local, county and federal agencies for the Law Enforcement Torch Run For Special Olympics. |
 |
The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest grassroots fund raising and public awareness vehicle for Special Olympics.
|
The Law Enforcement Torch Run traditionally begins in Scottsbluff, Nebrska and concludes with Opening Ceremonies at Creighton University in Omaha.
The Torch Run is described by participants as a heartwarming experience and a terrific opportunity for law enforement officers to interact with citizens from all across the state in a positive environment. |

| The Special Olympics oath says a lot about the organization, "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with mental retardation, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, build self-confidence, and share friendships. |
