Description

The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) is the premier avenue for fundraising and public awareness for Special Olympics. Special Olympics cater to athletes who are intellectually challenged by giving them an opportunity to participate in several sporting disciplines. Special Olympics bear the motto "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." Each year almost 90 thousand dedicated law enforcement officers participate in the torch run throughout 35 nations, 12 Canadian provinces and 50 US states, raising in excess of US$46 million for local Special Olympics programs and more than $461 million since its inception in 1981. In 1986, Jamaica became the First Nation outside of the United States to adopt the Torch Run and to date has contributed an estimated J$32 million toward preparing and sending athletes to international games. These funds were raised primarily through collection drives by police officers and corporate sponsorship. The collection drives were done during an actual run across the entire island by police officers bearing a lit torch which is the symbol of LETR international. In 2011, for the first time, other state security agencies were brought under the LETR banner. Through the combined efforts of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, the Jamaica Defence Force, the Jamaica Fire Brigade, the Department of Correctional Services, Jamaica Customs Agency and the Passport, immigration and Citizenship Agency we have been able to raise awareness of persons living with intellectual disabilities and raise funds for Special Olympics Jamaica. This year, all partner agencies have joined in an effort to raise $3 million to offset expenses for our Special Olympians to attend the World Winter and Summer Games.
