For more than 20 years, the Sarasota Police Department has taken part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. Members of the Sarasota Police Department will once again take to the streets of the City of Sarasota for a great cause.

 

Officers and civilian runners will join more than 300 Florida law enforcement agencies in the state-wide torch run to benefit the athletes of Special Olympics Florida. More than 5,000 officers carry the torch on a 1,500-mile relay throughout Florida annually.

 

The Sarasota Police Department will receive the Torch from members of the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office in the parking lot of Paradise Plaza Publix, 3825 South Osprey Avenue, Sarasota, at approximately 8:30 a.m. Friday, April 19, 2024.

 

Members of the Sarasota Police Department will run the torch on a route that includes two legs:  The first leg will take the torch north on Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41), past the split with North Washington Boulevard, and continue north with a right turn on Adams Lane ending at the Sarasota Police Department Headquarters, 2099 Adams Lane.

The second leg will take the torch from Adams Lane, north on East Avenue to Main Street, and then travel west on Main Street through downtown Sarasota to Selby Five Points Park, 1 Central Ave.

Donations can be sent to Sergeant Robert Morrison at the Sarasota Police Department (2099 Adams Lane, Sarasota, FL 34237) or online at https://give.specialolympicsflorida.org/site/TR?fr_id=1845&pg=entry.  Sgt. Morrison can be contacted at (941) 263-6773 or [email protected].  All proceeds go towards supporting the Special Olympic athletes.
