Law Enforcement and Special Olympics have a long standing relationship. The Guilford Police Department is very active in supporting and Fund-Raising for Special Olympics Connecticut.
Over the past 4 years we have been ranked in the top 4 agencies in the state in fund raising.
Our department department record is one 1st place, two 3rd place and a 4th place finish. The 2000 total had our department missing 1st place by less than $250.00
The Guilford Police Department would like to thank the many generous businesses and individuals who assisted us in our fund raising efforts.

Tip-A-Cop
The 15th Annual "Tip-A-Cop" fundraiser for Connecticut Special Olympics will be held at Chips Pub II on Thursday May 24, 2007. Officers will wait tables with Chips Pub staff in order to earn "tips". A drawing will also be held with many items being donated by local merchants. All proceeds benefit Connecticut Special Olympics. There will be a D.J. during the evening hours and official Special Olympics and "Tip-A-Cop" T-shirts and merchandise available. The event has proven to be a great family event and lots of fun for all ages.
For more information or if you would like to donate something for the drawing, please contact Officer Sandra Brooks at the Guilford Police Department (203) 453-8061
Law Enforcement Torch Run
Funds are raised through the Torch Run by local businesses and individuals sponsoring a "mile" along the route, which runs the length of Boston Post Rd. (U.S. Rt. 1) from Madison to Branford. Signs are posted along the route with the names of the sponsor. Officers from our department run the entire length of the route along side Special Olympians that live in town.
MC Benefit Ride
The ride leaves the Guilford Public Safety Complex
400 Church Street Guilford at 10:00 a.m. and there will be Refreshments "Coffee and..." during registration and food and beverages after the ride. All proceeds went to benefit Special Olympics Connecticut.
Last year's ride was a great success for a first year event. The weather was great and the ride through the country side of Guilford, Madison, Killingworth, and Durham beautiful. Lots of great comments on the ride. We received lots of individual support and support from Public Safety MC Clubs like The Lawdogs MC, The Red Knights MC, The Guardians MC and The Blue Knights. To all that participated your support was greatly appreciated and we are looking forward to seeing you again this year.
Donations: $25.00 per bike (includes one T-Shirt) - Passenger $10.00. Additional T-Shirts will also be on sale.
These shirts were specially designed for our "Ride for the Flame" event.
