Law Enforcement Torch Run

On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the Village of Mamaroneck Police Department participated in The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR), the event was initiated in 1981 by Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon.  The torch run has grown into a worldwide movement. What began as a humble initiative has transformed into a global beacon of hope and unity, driven by the collective efforts of law enforcement volunteers. Known as Guardians of the Flame, these dedicated individuals join hands with Special Olympics athletes to champion the cause of acceptance and inclusion for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

The essence of LETR lies in its community-centric approach. Law enforcement members from various levels, including federal, national, state, provincial, local, and even military sectors, come together to support this noble cause. Their collaboration extends beyond mere participation; it signifies a commitment to fostering a society where everyone, irrespective of their abilities, is embraced and celebrated.
