Dozens of Anne Arundel County police officers carried the Special Olympics torch from Glen Burnie to Annapolis on Tuesday.
The event was part of the 2012 Law Enforcement Torch Run, which area law enforcement agencies participate in each year.
Anne Arundel County officers purchased the blue T-shirts shown in the picture to help raise money for Special Olympics Maryland athletes for the approaching summer games.
The torch will be delivered to Towson University for the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics Maryland Summer Games, scheduled for Friday.

A very good initiative to engage uniformed officers to participate in such events of which not only improves their fitness but also it exemplifies the spirit of competitiveness to encourage the special olympiads to excel and be motivated.

Kudos to the Anne Arundel police officers for shedding some light on the Special Olympics. We tend to forget that the Special Olympics and the disabled athletes who have pushed boundaries to achieve sporting excellence.
