Cop On Rooftop

On Friday, May 17, 2019, from 5am to 12pm, officers from the Crystal Lake Police Department will need your assistance in getting down from the roof for the annual statewide event, Cop on Rooftop.

Through Special Olympics Illinois, athletes enhance their physical fitness
and motor skills, self-confidence, self-image, friendship and social skills.

The athletes carry these benefits with them into their daily lives at home, in the classroom, on the job and in the community.

This year’s event will be held at both Crystal Lake Dunkin’ locations.

The primary location where officers will be on the roof is 4817 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake.

The secondary Dunkin’ location is 450 N. IL Route 31, Crystal Lake. Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics t- shirts and other merchandises will be sold at both locations to help raise funds for Special
Olympics Illinois.
