The Dalton Police Department will participate in Georgia’s Law Enforcement Torch Run on Tuesday, May 19th, in support of Special Olympics Georgia.
Officers from the Dalton Police Department along with deputies from the Whitfield County Sherriff’s Office will meet Tuesday morning at 8:00 am at the Municipal Court Building at 501 West Waugh Street. From there, the group will run down Thornton Avenue to Bryman’s Plaza. At Bryman’s Plaza, they will board buses and ride to the South Bypass at Lakeland Road. From there, they will run along the Bypass to Valley Point Elementary where they will greet students. From there, the group will run along Highway 41 to the Gordon County line.
The Dalton Police Department has been raising funds for the Law Enforcement Torch Run since February, and to date has raised nearly $3,600 of its target goal of $5,000. If you want to help, it's not too late! The department is still accepting donations both at the Police Services Center at 301 Jones Street and also online at www.firstgiving.com/daltonpd. Each year, the Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest fundraiser for Special Olympics Georgia. This year, the goal of law enforcement agencies across the state is to raise $800,000, which will account for nearly a third of Special Olympics Georgia’s annual budget.
