2012 - LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN           
The Law Enforcement Torch Run® (LETR) is internationally celebrating its 31st anniversary in 2012, for Special Olympics.  LETR is the movement's largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle. Globally in 2011, the Torch Run raised over $42 million for Special Olympics programs. More than 85,000 law enforcement officers carried the Flame of Hope across 35 nations, raising awareness and funds for Special Olympics.
 
Here in Manitoba, the Torch Run takes place on Thursday, May 31, 2012. The Special Olympics athletes and law enforcement officials will start the run at 5:30 p.m., being from the Scotia Bank Main Stage at the Forks, through the downtown and Saint Boniface for seven kilometers. Traffic delays are possible.
 
The Scotiabank has been a formidable partner in this effort as their entire branch network has supported "Toonies for Torches", which enables Scotiabank clients to purchase a paper torch in support of Special Olympics Manitoba.  Funds raised up to $15,000 in the Toonies for Torches campaign, were matched by Scotiabank. Last year, this resulted in a total of $30,473 to support Special Olympics programs throughout the province.
Each year, Manitoba law enforcement personnel from across the Province take to the city streets and rural highways to participate in the Torch Run. The ultimate goal of the LETR is to ensure that all residents living with an intellectual disability are provided with the opportunity to share in the benefits of participating in sports and related physical activities.
 
Over the past 23 years the Manitoba LETR has consistently achieved their goal, raising in excess of 2 million dollars, due in large part to the generous support of runner pledges and Manitoba LETR variety of activities. One hundred percent of all monies raised through LETR fundraising campaigns such as this go directly to Special Olympics Manitoba.

STATUS4 - 2012 LAUNCH
 
As part of an ongoing approach under the City of Winnipeg LiveSafe –Crime Prevention Policy; Winnipeg Police Service and the Community Services Department have partnered with Status4 Inc. to provide programs and services for children, youth and families in the Elmwood community of Winnipeg. 
 
In 2006, Kevin Gibson, a constable with the Winnipeg Police Service, began looking for new ways to inspire young people to live healthy lives free of crime. Kevin's commitment and dedication to helping young people live healthy lives was the impetus for Status4.
Status4 Inc. began in the Fall of 2011 at the East End Cultural and Leisure Centre located at 575 Larsen Avenue. Status4 Inc. provides free after-school music, arts programs and taekwondo in the Elmwood Community for youth without access or opportunity due to social and economic barriers. 
This initiative was made possible with partnerships and support from the Winnipeg Police Service, Community Services and other Civic Departments, Province of Manitoba, corporate contributions and community support as well as the volunteers that make up the Status4 Team.
The City of Winnipeg is contributing $85,000 of in-kind support to this initiative.
The province, through Neighbourhoods Alive!, has provided $28,000 towards launching Status4 in the neighbourhood of Chalmers.
"We are pleased to help Status4 provide an innovative, proactive approach towards safety with a strong emphasis on positive skill-building recreation opportunities for youth," said Housing and Community Development Minister Kerri Irvin-Ross. "When youth have more opportunities for growth in positive environments the entire community will benefit."
"In my time as Mayor, I have heard so many times that all it takes is one mentor to completely change a young person's life," said Mayor Sam Katz. "Kevin, along with all of the other mentors involved with Status4, will no doubt make a tangible difference in this community."
"Status4 is a testament of what happens when communities and organizations work together as a collective team to create initiatives that will enhance the lives of families while creating safer communities", said Keith McCaskill, Chief of Winnipeg Police Service.
 
"The wide range of recreational opportunities that Status4 will be providing for children and youth in Elmwood is extremely exciting and the Community Services Department is pleased to be an active partner in these efforts", said Clive Wightman, Director of Community Services.
In addition to the strong working relationship with community organizations; Status4 Inc. has benefitted from effective partnerships with area Councillor Thomas Steen, MLA Jim Maloway, Elmwood High School, Neighborhoods Alive! and corporate supports such as Roland Canada (Richmond, BC), Mar-Schell's Music and Palliser Furniture.

COPS FOR CANCER
The Cops for Cancer Head Shave 2012 will take place today, Saturday, May 26th at 12:00 noon at the Kildonan Place Shopping Center (Centre Court), located at 1555 Regent Avenue West. Participants comprised of police and staff members of the Winnipeg Police Service, retired members, spouses, children and special friends, will be losing their locks to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society Manitoba Division.
 
Over the past decade, this event has raised over $400,000 and has become a significant fundraiser for the Cancer Society in raising money for the fight against Cancer.  All money raised remains in our Province.
 
"The brave men and women of the Winnipeg Police Service provide a vital service to our city, keeping Winnipeg a safe place to live," says Joy Letkemann, spokesperson for the Cancer Society of Manitoba." We are thrilled to have their continued support in something else vital for all Manitobans - the fight against cancer."
 
Winnipeg Police Service members are invited to come out and support their peers and make donations to help in the battle against Cancer which has touched many of us in some way.
 
The Winnipeg Police Service would like to encourage the media and the public to come out and support this cause.
