The second annual Cop on Top, a Law Enforcement Torch Run Event benefiting Special Olympics Minnesota, will be running from Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8, 2008. The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics Minnesota is to raise funds for, and awareness of, the Special Olympics Minnesota movement.
 Law enforcement officers and personnel carry the “Flame of Hope” in honor of Special Olympics Minnesota athletes. Special Olympics is a program which reaffirms the beliefs that with hope and dedication, we can see achievement and self-worth realized by any individual. It is our belief that persons with intellectual disabilities, through their involvement in Special Olympics, show their communities that there are no limits to their potential.
