The
Fair Lawn Police Department is proud to participate in the "Torch Run
for the Special Olympics". In early June each year, officers from the Fair Lawn Police
Department shed their uniforms for running attire and run the
approximate 4 mile Torch Run route, raising needed funding for the "New
Jersey Special
Olympics".
The Fair Lawn officers picked
up the torch from the Glen Rock Police Department on Maple Avenue by
Harristown Road. The torch was carried by Fair Lawn officers down
Maple Avenue to River Road and south on River Road to Chittenden Road,
where it was turned over to the Elmwood Park Police Department.
Elmwood Park Police carried
the torch through Elmwood Park, eventually meeting up with the Fair Lawn
officers again on Broadway by 17th Street. From there, Fair Lawn officers
carried the torch east on Broadway, stopping briefly for a picture with
the cheering children on the front lawn of Warren Point Elementary School,
then continuing east on Broadway, handing the torch off to the Paramus
Police at Broadway by Saddle River Road, where it continued it's journey
through Bergen County.
The Fair Lawn officers
volunteered their time for this worthy cause. If you would like to
support the Fair Lawn Police Department's Torch Run for Special Olympics, please contact
