Recognizing the visionary leadership of Chief Richard LaMunyon and the profound global impact of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.

HCONRES 76 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon for founding the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) in 1981. It highlights how LETR, starting with a $300 fundraising run in Wichita, has grown into a global movement involving over 150,000 law enforcement officers across 50 U.S. states, Canada, and 25+ countries. The resolution notes LETR has raised $1.14 billion since its inception to support Special Olympics athletes with intellectual disabilities. It does not create new laws or affect policy, but formally commends LaMunyon's leadership and the movement's role in promoting inclusion.
