Today, officers from the Bristol Police Department proudly participated in the Special Olympics of Rhode Island Torch Run alongside our law enforcement partners from Portsmouth Police, Warren Police, Barrington Police, and East Providence Police.

We would also like to thank all of the elementary school students who came out to cheer us on as we ran through town. Your energy and encouragement meant a great deal to all of the participants!

A special shoutout goes to Ptlm. Adam Almeida, who completed the entire East Bay leg of the Torch Run — an incredible 15-mile run from the Bristol Police Station to the East Providence Police Station. Outstanding job representing our department and supporting such a great cause!
