Novie, what’s your 10-20? Long pause. Even longer pause. Location unknown. Suspect believed to be eating a sprinkle doughnut.
We are still savoring our night at the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C., where the Law Enforcement Torch Run® (LETR) for Special Olympics and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) recommitted to their partnership through a ceremonial signing of a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). On 20 April 2026, law enforcement representatives gathered in the nation’s capital to publicly affirm their continued commitment to advancing inclusion, dignity and opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
LETR is the largest public awareness and grassroots fundraising movement for Special Olympics. Over the past 45 years, law enforcement officers have raised more than $1 billion for Special Olympics. The signed MOU reaffirms IACP’s role as the founding law enforcement organization of the global LETR movement and recognizes Special Olympics as IACP’s official charity.
This special episode of Inclusion Revolution Radio, host Novie Craven is going behind the tape, learning about the impact of the MOU on Special Olympics athletes and meeting the law enforcement officers who serve as Guardians of the Flame®. We’re meeting:
- John Clifton, Chairman, LETR International Executive Council
- Stephanie Price, Special Olympics Athlete Appointee, LETR International Executive Council
- Vincent Talucci, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, IACP
- Charles Humphrey, Use of Force Instructor, National Law Enforcement Museum
- Brandon Fitzgerald, Chief Legal Officer, Special Olympics
- Carmen Helton, Council Appointee, LETR International Executive Council
- Rodney Seurer, IACP Appointee, LETR International Executive Council
Novie is also getting behind the wheel at the National Law Enforcement Museum’s Driving Simulator, navigating situations officers may encounter on the road. And if there’s a limit on horn use, let’s just say we’ve reached it.
Tune in to learn more about this historic partnership, LETR’s global impact and safe driving practices!
