On May 5, 2016, the Dallas Police Department helped kick off the Special Olympics Summer Games by participating in the Law Enforcement Torch run. The runners took off from Jack Evans Headquarters and ran through downtown Dallas, Uptown, and Highland Park. After running for 7 miles, the runners crossed the finish line at Southern Methodist University. Dallas police employees run this annual event to help bring awareness to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities.
