Hi everyone! We’re alive!

It was a very busy week for Taneytown 😮‍💨

🎡 Carnival Week was a huge success despite a few rain showers. We always enjoy the opportunity to connect with our community and provide safety during such a well attended event. Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company, well done, as always!

🚲 The Law Enforcement Torch Run carried us all the way to Westminster with our new friend, Bryan, on Tuesday. See our previous post about that!

✅ Officers participated in training regarding the Carroll County Advocacy and Investigation Center. This allowed our officers to gain valuable knowledge and strengthen our relationship with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

🎊 EVAPCO Inc. has been an outstanding community partner to us for years, so when asked to attend their event this weekend, we said YES. It was great to chat with attendees!

Alright, nap time for us. Chill on the crime, pls. 🫩

WE DID IT! 🎉

And with that, the 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Maryland is COMPLETE. Every year, we are so proud to join hands with allied agencies, community members and athletes to accomplish one goal: spread awareness and gather support for Special Olympics Maryland.

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. This gives individuals opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy.

We echo their purpose: that through sport, we can create a world where opportunity is not limited by disability. 🫶🏼

It was an honor to ride alongside Bryan this year. We’ve made a new friend, and we are thankful for the example he sets… that you can do ANYTHING, as long as you believe you can!

See you again next year. 💙

Taneytown, we are so excited to introduce you to Bryan, our 2026 Torch Run, Athlete. 🎉

Lt. Castellar and Operations Specialist Engels got to meet Bryan and his mom, Nancy, last week over lunch. Bryan lives in Carroll County and has roots in Taneytown, so when given the choice, Bryan requested to ride with our agency to represent the Special Olympics Maryland. This program has given him opportunity, community and shown him what he’s capable of! He enjoys bike riding, swimming and snow shoeing. He’s a college graduate and proud Eagle Scout.

Please come out and show your support to Bryan during our 13 mile trek down route 140. 🚲 We hope to see you all line the streets again this year, cheering us on as we make our way through town.

We will be leaving memorial park at 9:30am on June 9th. We hope to see you again!
