Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run For the second year in a row, the Woodstock Police Department hosted the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. Law enforcement personnel from all Cherokee County agencies participated in the run, which started at Cherokee County South Annex and ended at Sams Club in Woodstock. While running the route through downtown Woodstock, participants carried buckets and collected donations for the Special Olympics. The event raises awareness and funds for Special Olympics. Known as Guardians of the Flame, law enforcement members and Special Olympics athletes carry the Flame of Hope into Opening Ceremonies of local competitions. They also carry it into Special Olympics State, Provincial, National, Regional, and World Games. Every year, more than 97,000 law enforcement members carry the Flame of Hope. This flame symbolizes courage and celebrates diversity as it unites communities around the globe.
