The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) is a campaign to benefit the Special Olympics.

It began in 1981 in Wichita, Kansas, and is the largest grass-roots fundraising movement for the Special Olympics.

Close to 97,000 police professionals in over 45 countries participate in this worldwide effort to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics.

In the broader sense, the LETR is used to define all of the special events, and fundraising activities that law enforcement conducts to contribute to this campaign.

This culminates with the lighting of the cauldron for the Flame of Hope at the opening ceremonies for the Special Olympics World Games.
