Thank you all!

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest public awareness vehicle and grass-roots fundraiser for the Special Olympics.

On Monday, the 2024 Hudson Valley Tri-County Law Enforcement Torch Run took place in Rockland, Westchester and Putnam counties when officers and supporters of police departments participated in recognition of National Police Week.

This year’s run marked 38 years of support by Westchester County law enforcement and the third year united with support from Rockland and Putnam County law enforcement agencies.

This initiative is collaboration between The White Plains Youth Bureau, The White Plains Police Department, and Grandpa’s United a White Plains community group. The “YPI” program is a promising prevention and early intervention program that the department has participated in with the youth bureau dating back to 2008. The approach of the program is to enhance trust between law enforcement, teenagers and their families. It is a week-long program that brings together 12 to 15 neighborhood teens at one time with police officers who patrol their neighborhoods to participate in a highly interactive and structured training. We are very proud of this program and of the Officers and young people who participated.
