Les Sinclair talks with ACPD First Sargent Elizabeth Gomez.  The officers are gearing up for the annual Torch Run event leading up to the opening of the Summer Games for the Virginia Special Olympics this weekend! The run is Wednesday (6/9/21) morning.  It starts at the 5^th Street Office Building (ACPD), running up 5^th Street past the Ridge Street Firehouse. The entire run itself usually takes around 60-90 minutes.

Below is the email provided by Charlottesville City Police Captain Steve Nick, who is the area coordinator this year.
