The Special Olympic Torch Run comes to Gallatin and local law enforcement officers were on hand to help out.
Gallatin city alderman John Whitfield read a proclamation just before police chief Mark Richards led the group south on Main Street as deputy Larry Adams carried the torch for the run.
The Missouri Police Chiefs Association is the founding law enforcement organization for Missouri’s Torch Run for Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO)
What began in 1986 as a 30-mile run is now an 11-day relay covering more than 950 miles with more than 3,000 runners. It originates in more than 40 locations and culminates at the site of the state summer games.
This year, 2018, represents the 32nd year that Missouri Law enforcement officers have supported SOMO.
