Today at 9:00 AM Ridgefield Police Department participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for CT Special Olympics! Members of the department and Special Olympians ran through town carrying the “Flame of Hope.” In addition to riders, members of the Ridgefield Bicycle Company rode along!

The run began at Dimitri’s, made its way to East Ridge Middle School, then to Veterans Park, and to Town Hall where participants stopped for a photo with First Selectman Rudy Marconi. After the photo-op, police and Olympians headed back to Dimitri’s.
