Thank You Officers! 

 
This week, May 15 - 21, is National Police Week. National Police Week pays special recognition to law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. Today, this week, and always, Special Olympics Oklahoma honors the courage of all law enforcement officers and their selfless service to protect our communities.

Law enforcement officers are an integral part of what we do at Special Olympics Oklahoma, and we thank you for going above and beyond to support and create a more inclusive community for our athletes across the state. Thank you for your continued support of our athletes!
