Cop on Rooftop The Lansing Police Department would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who donated and participated in the recent Dunkin’ Donuts Cop on Rooftop event in support of Special Olympics of Illinois on Friday, May 30th. We were able to raise over $2,500.00 on that day. The Lansing Police Department would also like to acknowledge and give a special thanks to Lansing Dunkin’ Donuts owner Sanjay Tilva, who has graciously allowed the Lansing Police to hold the event at his store for the past five years. This has enabled us to collect $10,000.00 for Special Olympics of Illinois during that period; all proceeds of which went to Special Olympics. The Cop on Rooftop event was also held by numerous other Illinois Law Enforcement Agencies at over 150 Dunkin Donuts locations throughout Illinois- setting a new record for money raised. More than $400,000 was collected.
