“Cop on a Rooftop gives us a unique way to connect with our community while supporting something that truly matters,” Chief Shane Slack said. “Every dollar raised helps provide opportunities for Special Olympics athletes to train, compete and build confidence. As officers, we’re proud to stand behind these athletes and be part of a program that promotes inclusion, teamwork and respect across our communities.” To date, Cop on a Rooftop events have raised more than $125,000 for Special Olympics Indiana.
