The Law Enforcement Torch Run started in North Dakota in 1985 to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics North Dakota and the State Summer Games. Each year more than 400 law enforcement officers in North Dakota promote the concept of partnership and prosperity as the "Guardians of the Flame." The "Flame of Hope" ignites the hopes and brightens the lives of more than 1,600 athletes who participate in any of the 15 sports offered by Special Olympics North Dakota each year, according to the organization.
