NEWPORT BEACH...Members of the Newport Beach Police Department proudly participated in the 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of Special Olympics Southern California. This regional event features the Flame of Hope, which honors the incredible athletes who inspire us through courage, determination and perseverance.

 

The NBPD team received the torch from our partners at CHP before continuing the run through our community and proudly handing it off to the Costa Mesa Police Department to continue its journey.

 

The Law Enforcement Torch Run represents far more than a relay; it is a symbol of unity, inclusion and unwavering support for athletes with intellectual disabilities. We are honored to stand beside these athletes, their families, coaches and supporters, and to help raise awareness for the life-changing impact of Special Olympics programs.
