On June 11, 2026, a group of Special Olympics athletes and law enforcement officers from the Johns Creek Police Department and surrounding agencies departed from Atlanta, carrying a powerful symbol of inclusion and unity across the country.
Among those participating were our own Captain Tyler Seymour and Deputy Chief John Clifton, both dedicated leaders in the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics. Captain Seymour serves as Georgia's State Director and Executive Council Chairman for LETR, while Deputy Chief Clifton serves as an Executive Council Chairman for the organization.
Through their leadership and commitment, they have helped advance the mission of Special Olympics and contributed to LETR's remarkable achievement of raising more than $1 billion in support of Special Olympics athletes worldwide.
