Law Enforcement Torch Run passes through Spencerport

The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) passed through Monroe County on Friday, June 3, as the Flame of Hope makes its way around the state in support of Special Olympics New York

LETR is a time-honored Special Olympics tradition of more than 30 years, led and orchestrated by the “Guardians of the Flame,” which include members of law enforcement personnel from agencies throughout New York. Together with local athletes and supporters, LETR representatives raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics New York.

More than 100 members of local law enforcement and Special Olympics athletes participated, running from the Ogden Police Department to Pineway Ponds Park with a water stop at the Spencerport School District campus. Members of Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Ogden Police Department, FBI, Rochester Police Department, New York State Police, Monroe County Probation, Irondequoit Police Department, Gates Police Department, Greece Police Department, Webster Police Department, and United States Border Patrol turned out for the event.
