  34th Annual Torch Run

Over 3,000 law enforcement officers ran the Special Olympic torch, the "Flame of Hope," across 750 miles on Friday June 9th.

Last year, $3.7 million was raised for the athletes of Special Olympics New Jersey. This year with the 34th Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run, the runners and police departments hope to raise even more for these special games. The officers ran 26 separate legs throughout the day starting at 4:45 a.m.

Edgewater Officers and students participated once again this year!
