Law Enforcement Torch Run 2005
June 7, 2005 – 21:34 pmCongratulations to all of the officers and deputies who participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. This year, as usual, is shaping up to be another great effort by the law enforcement community.
Lt. Schwarzer, of the Radford Department of Police, wrote to say he ran a 17 mile leg in the New River Valley yesterday. Today the 44th Entry Level Law Enforcement class joined with Salem Police Department and Salem Sheriff’s Office personnel to run the 9.8 mile leg from the Montgomery County line, through Roanoke County and finishing at Longwood Park in Salem.
The heat and humidity was a killer but the recruits turned in another great effort. After a 4 month injury lay off, I finally got to run along with the training staff and a couple of evaluators. Thanks to all the runners, the support personnel and the organizers for a great effort.
