Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run – A Unified Experience

Monday September 15, 2025 8:00am - 12:00pm CDT

Special Olympics and Law Enforcement officers have a long history and partnership that spans decades. Learn the benefits of involvement, appropriate ways of speaking to/about the intellectual disability (ID) community, and interact with real SO athletes. After some classroom time, you will participate in a “Unified” experience with the athletes and see first-hand how we are all more alike than different (no running required!).

Emotional Intelligence is the cornerstone of a thriving work environment, whether it be sworn or civilian. Recognizing and understanding both personal and others' emotions fosters a mindful pause between triggers and reactions. This skill can transform often toxic work atmospheres. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, and focus areas, empowering students to take responsibility for actions and emotions. Equipped with self-awareness, they cultivate a positive work environment, demonstrating the transformative impact of Emotional Intelligence.
