Nebraska LETR Executive Council

 

“My involvement the Law Enforcement Torch Run over the past 25 years has taught me a lot about acceptance and inclusion of all people. It has made me a better cop, a better parent and a better person.”

- Captain Jeri Roeder, Lincoln Police Department 

The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Nebraska Executive Council is an important body that provides guidance, resources, and oversight to the overall Law Enforcement Torch Run movement.  It is vital that qualified individuals from Law Enforcement who are involved with our program are involved at this level.

  • Govern the state LETR program
  • Make purposeful decisions
  • Empower law enforcement
  • Brainstorm ideas and policies
  • Work hand-in-hand with Special Olympics Nebraska
  • Make sure the LETR program is furthering the mission of Special Olympics Nebraska
