The Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run is one of the biggest fundraisers for Special Olympics worldwide. The APDEA has historically donated and supported individual employees as they raise money for this event.  APD has provided the SWAT "bear" for participants to explore.  APD officers routinely volunteer in uniform throughout the event, cheering on participants and helping with the event.  APD officers individually raise funds for the event and APDEA publicizes their participation in the event.  The 2019 run will take place in Mt. View, starting and ending at the Special Olympics Training Center.
