On March 25, 2018, Special Olympics Rhode Island held the 11th Annual Torch Run Plunge at Salty Brine State Beach, Narragansett. This Plunge typically hosts many that represent local and state police agencies as well as fire departments, corrections officers, and public safety. The atmosphere at the Plunge is indescribable! Many athletes take the plunge with fellow friends, family and supporters, all of whom are there to support a great cause. This event features live music, a well-known “plunger costume” competition and a fantastic after-party. This is also one of the state’s only “dog friendly” plunges, as many of the participating officers plunge with their K9.
What an honor to be able to be a sponsor for the 2018 IMPD Luncheon. This event was for those that retired from service in 2017. March 6, 2018 was the IMPD luncheon held in Indianapolis, Indiana. Police and Fireman’s Fraternal contributions are, above all, an honor to be able to show the respect our retirees richly deserve. Presiding over the event was Mayor Joe Hogsett and IMPD Chief Bryan K. Roach. Behind the scenes organizers, Donna Forbes and Leah Gurnell, pulled out a flawless, respectful event. This was the biggest retiree luncheon held in the 25 years that Agent David Roth has been a part of and next year looks to be just as big!
