Law Enforcement Officers raise money in conjunction with their Torch Runs for their local Special Olympics program. The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest grassroots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle for Special Olympics, raising more than $4.8 million for Special Olympics programs in 1999. Nearly 75,000 law enforcement officers have carried the Flame of Hope in 50 states and three nations raising awareness and funds for Special Olympics. The idea for the Torch Run was conceived in 1981, when Wichita, Kansas Police Chief, Richard LaMunyon saw an immediate need to raise funds and increase awareness of Special Olympics in his community. LaMunyon foresaw the Torch Run as a way to partner local law enforcement personnel with the community and Special Olympics. In 1984, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) lent their support to the growing movement. The Torch Run expanded into seven states by 1985; 43 states by 1986; and 50 states and 28 nations in 1999. 5 LETRFL After Action Report The flame for the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games Idaho has been ignited by the rays of the sun opposite the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The symbolic flame will be split and protected in miners’ lamps, and will travel across the globe to Boise, Idaho under the care of a local law enforcement officer and a Special Olympics athlete. The Final Leg tradition is for law enforcement officers, representing their state, province or nation, to act as Guardians of the Flame, carrying the Flame of Hope to the Opening Ceremony at World Games, signaling the official start of competition. The event is called the Final Leg because it represents the culmination of Torch Run events that have occurred in previous states, nations or provinces prior to the World Games. The Final Leg is not only a salute to the athletes from around the world who will compete in the World Games, but also an honor for the participating law enforcement officers who comprise the Torch Run Final Leg Team. The Olympic Flame: The Olympic flame is symbolic of the light of Spirit, Knowledge and Life; with identical Power and Majesty, the Special Olympics Flame of Hope is entrusted in the care of the international Law Enforcement community. This international body of officials is symbolic of the courage and celebration of diversity that the Special Olympics movement represents. Torch Arrival Event: At past World Games, Torch Run ceremonies have been deemed most successful with the visible involvement of local VIPs, Law Enforcement and government officials, local dignitaries, Special Olympics athletes and host team program participants. Ceremony and protocol demand creativity, planning, rehearsal and time. The following guidelines should be incorporated into a typical ceremony: - General public and dignitaries arrive on time and are situated accordingly Final Leg advance person arrives to facilitate pending arrival of team (relays imminent arrival via radio/cell phones) Team arrives and is situated facing audience at “parade rest” Remarks o Emcee (Welcome) o Introduction of VIPs o VIP remarks/Athlete remarks/Final Leg designee remarks o Mutual presentation of dignitary gifts o Emcee (Close) In addition to those listed above, the following groups of people add great color to ceremonies: Group homes, sheltered workshops, assisted living unites, special education centers, Veteran’s Groups, Boy & Girl Scout Troops, school children, law enforcement and/or military honor guards, law enforcement executives, military band and fire departments. Whenever possible, these groups should be dressed in uniform. GOALS: 6 LETRFL After Action Report - - - - Promote the 2009 Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg o Generate excitement and pride throughout the Alaska Law Enforcement Community, School Community and the Special Olympics Community Make athletes the focus of the celebration o Solicit local Special Olympics program participation o Showing participation is more important that winning. Rewards of competition are skills, courage, sharing and joy o Educate local students about the Final Leg, Special Olympics and the 2009 World Winter Games Portray the partnership between the Law Enforcement Community and Special Olympics as a positive force in local community o More than $61 million has been raised by the Law Enforcement Torch Run since 1981, more than 75,000 members are involved internationally Draw attention to the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games Idaho Raise awareness about Special Olympics within individual communities Portray Olympics ideal and pageantry – showing sports as a positive force in the world OBJECTIVES/STRATEGY: The overall strategy of the 2009 Torch Run Final Leg will take a very individual and tailored approach to cities where ceremonies are held. The Final Leg Team will be broken down into 3 teams according to respective routes, consisting of a team leader, law enforcement officers, and Special Olympics athletes. Each team will reach various communities throughout Idaho, via ceremonies within schools and/or other community centers. In addition, ceremonies are planned involving mayors and other elected city officials; the governor will be invited to Boise, Idaho, the state’s capital and one of the hosting cities of the 2009 World Games. The Flame of Hope will be received on the steps of Boise City Hall, Idaho to celebrate the safe, successful deliverance of the Flame of Hope. An effort to gain possession to the world’s largest projection screen is in progress, in order that the lighting of the Torch in Athens, Greece will be chronologically followed by the flame’s journey across the globe. At the perfect and practiced timing, the video will transition into the Torch Run Final Leg Team’s live feed, all of which will be projected upon the proposed screen. As Idaho’s most grandiose event in the state history, the welcoming ceremony will receive the most spectacular spotlight and celebration that it deserves. Other Objectives: - - Releases and advisories will be distributed statewide announcing the ceremony on Feb. 7th, from many statewide outlets, including the law enforcement agencies. This release will be generated and distributed through the GOC. The 2009 World Games Website will begin posting information about the Final Leg in Jan. 2009. Information will highlight athlete and runner profiles and photos, a flame tracking system, and general Torch Run information. 7 LETRFL After Action Report - The mayor of the local communities will be invited to attend the school ceremonies, along with local Law Enforcement officials; heightening the awareness of the partnership between local community agencies, officials and Special Olympics. AUDIENCE: The audience at the ceremonies shall primarily consist of local government officials, local and national VIPs, and other dignitaries and citizens of the State of Idaho, so that they may share the message of the Final Leg with other members of the community. In addition, the local Law Enforcement Community will be invited to participate.

Competition Special Olympics athletes are divided to compete in categories based on gender, age, and ability level. All Special Olympics activities reflect the values, standards, traditions, ceremonies, and events embodied in the modern Olympic movement. These Olympic-type activities have been broadened and enriched to celebrate the moral and spiritual qualities of persons with intellectual disabilities so as to enhance their dignity and self-esteem. 13 LETRFL After Action Report History and Leadership Special Olympics began in 1968 with the First International Special Olympics Games at Soldier Field in Chicago.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is the largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle for Special Olympics in the world, made up of more than 85,000 law enforcement officers in all 50 U.S. states, all Canadian provinces and 35 countries. For 27 years, the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics has raised more than US$230 million, with a record US$30 million raised in 2007 alone. Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Fact Sheet The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics is the movement's largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle, raising US$34 million for Special Olympics Programs around the world in 2008 and more than US$270 million since its inception in 1981. Over the past 27 years, the Law Enforcement Torch Run has evolved from a symbolic awareness run to one of the most unique annual fund raising efforts by the law enforcement community. From Torch Run T-shirt sales and "Adopt-A-Cop" runner sponsorships to Polar Plunge® fundraisers and Plane Pulls, the Torch Run raises funds so that Special Olympics athletes can continue to benefit from training and competing in Special Olympics sports. More than 85,000 law enforcement officers from 35 nations contribute to the Torch Run efforts annually as Guardians of the Flame® ensuring the delivery of the Special Olympics “Flame of Hope” to the Opening Ceremonies of local Special Olympics competitions, state/provincial Games, and National Summer or Winter Games. Every two years, law enforcement officers from around the world gather to carry the “Flame of Hope” in a Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg in honor of the Special Olympics World Summer or World Winter Games. The last Final Leg took place in 2007 Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg where an international team of law enforcement officers and Special Olympics athletes conducted runs and ceremonies in many communities throughout China to heighten awareness of Special Olympics and the World Games. The Final Leg Team safely delivered the ”Flame of Hope” to the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games Opening Ceremonies at Shanghai Stadium. The Law Enforcement Torch Run began in 1981 when Wichita, Kansas (USA), Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw an urgent need to raise funds for and increase awareness of Special Olympics. The Torch Run was quickly adopted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), now recognized as the founding law enforcement organization of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. 15 LETRFL After Action Report The International Association of Chiefs of Police is the Founding Law Enforcement Organization of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics For more information about the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics, Please visit our website at www.specialolympics.org. Language Guidelines Words matter. Words can open doors to cultivate the understanding and respect that enable people with disabilities to lead fuller, more independent lives. Words also can create barriers or stereotypes that are not only demeaning to people with disabilities, but also rob them of their individuality. The following language guidelines have been developed by experts for use by anyone writing or speaking about people with intellectual disabilities to ensure that all people are portrayed with individuality and dignity. Appropriate Terminology Special Olympics uses the term “intellectual disabilities.” Other terms are used around the world. Refer to participants in Special Olympics as “Special Olympics athletes” rather than “Special Olympians” or “Special Olympic athletes.” Use “people-first language.” Refer to individuals, persons or people with intellectual disabilities, rather than “intellectually disabled people” or “the intellectually disabled.” People have intellectual disabilities, rather than are “suffering from,” “afflicted with” or “a victim of” intellectual disabilities. Distinguish between adults and children with intellectual disabilities. Use adults or children, or older or younger athletes. A person “uses” a wheelchair, rather than is “confined” or “restricted to” a wheelchair. “Down syndrome” has replaced “Down’s Syndrome” and “mongoloid.” Refer to participants in Special Olympics as athletes. In no case should the word athletes appear in quotation marks. When writing, refer to persons with a disability in the same style as persons without a disability: full name on first reference and last name on subsequent references. Do not refer to an individual with an intellectual disability as “Bill” rather than the journalistically correct “Bill Smith” or “Smith.” A person is physically challenged or disabled rather than crippled. Use the words “Special Olympics” when referring to the worldwide Special Olympics movement. Terminology to Avoid 16 LETRFL After Action Report Do not use the label “kids” when referring to Special Olympics athletes. Adult athletes are an integral part of the Movement. Do not preface Special Olympics with the word “the.” This implies that Special Olympics is a one-time, singular event rather than a year-round, ongoing program of sports training and competition. Do not use the adjective “unfortunate” when talking about people with intellectual disabilities. Disabling conditions do not have to be life-defining in a negative way. Do not sensationalize the accomplishments of persons with disabilities. While these accomplishments should be recognized and applauded, people in the disability rights movement have tried to make the public aware of the negative impact of referring to the achievements of people with physical or intellectual disabilities with excessive hyperbole. Use the word “special” with extreme care when talking about persons with intellectual disabilities. The term, if used excessively in references to Special Olympics athletes and activities, can become a cliché. Section II. SCHEDULES/TIMELINES/EVENTS A. Schedules/Timelines 1. Pre-Games 2. Games 3.

Around the world, Special Olympics gives people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to play sports and live healthier lives. Not only are athletes’ lives and futures improved; everyone who touches Special Olympics – families, volunteers, neighbors, and entire communities – is transformed by the hope, spirit and positive energy it generates. 48 LETRFL After Action Report Strategies: Establish the Torch Run’s “Flame of Hope” as a metaphor for the positive community impact of Special Olympics Go beyond the ceremony traditional to the LETR, and focus on personal stories of transformation and hope Create opportunities for video/visual content Develop one or more global media partnerships to leverage personal stories/visual content – gain maximum exposure via TV, online channels Feature DHL’s delivery capabilities in every story – use truck “delivering hope” as consistent visual icon Communicate value of youth participation LETR PR Program Concept “Delivering Hope” As in past Torch Runs, we will hold official ceremonies in every city we visit, and generate media coverage of these events. But for the first time, we will also identify 6-8 cities along the route where we have strong stories to tell about the positive change Special Olympics has inspired in the life of a specific athlete, and in that athlete’s community. For example, in the township of Nyanga outside of Cape Town, a teenager with fetal alcohol syndrome*, joined a new Special Olympics team and was able to play football for the first time in his life; at the same time, his entire community became involved in launching a Special Olympics Football Tournament that brought athletes from throughout Africa to their township.
