Our guest this week is Lt. Genie Elton of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Department.

Many people have occasion to run from the cops, but Lt. Elton is inviting everyone to "Run With The Cops" on Saturday, September 7th at Olympic College in Bremerton. It is part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run campaign that is the largest grassroots fundraising and awareness event for Special Olympics across the globe. In Washington State there are nearly 2000 law enforcement volunteers that support Special Olympics Washington. The Special Olympics mission remains as vital today as it did when the movement was founded in 1968....they strive to create a better world by fostering the acceptance and inclusion of all people. Over 19,000 athletes participate in Special Olympics in Washington State and it is entirely supported by individual, corporate, and foundation contributions.

The Run With The Cops 5K is easy to participate in. You can run or walk; be competitive or casual, but Lt. Elton guarantees you will have fun.
