Executive Council

All Torch Run activities around the world are governed by the Law Enforcement Torch Run® Executive Council.

The Executive Council is authorized by Special Olympics and supported by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) for the purpose of encouraging, promoting, supporting and providing technical guidance to accredited Program Torch Run volunteers in planning and coordinating Torch Run events and activities on a worldwide basis, facilitating the expansion of existing Torch Run activities and planning for the development of new Torch Run activities and events.

The Executive Council is made up of 13 Regional Coordinators elected by Torch Run participants, law enforcement representatives appointed by IACP and Special Olympics representatives appointed by Special Olympics headquarters.

Please contact your Regional Coordinator or your local contact with any concerns or questions you may have regarding the Torch Run.
