Niles Police Stake Out Donut Shops For Charity

NILES, IL — Niles Police will be conducting four “Roof Top Stakeouts” at all of our Dunkin' Donuts locations in Niles as part of this year's "Cop on Top" event on Friday.

From 5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Niles cops will be raising money with the Illinois Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run at the following locations:

• 7039 W. Dempster
• 7525 N. Harlem
• 7235 N. Caldwell
• 8080 N. Milwaukee

Last year the Niles Police department raised over $8,348.00 towards the Illinois Special Olympics “CopOn Top” Event. This year, Niles police hope to raise $20,000 this year for the Illinois Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run.

Everyone who visits a Cop on Top location and makes a donation to the Torch Run will receive a free
donut. People who donate at least $10 will also receive a Law Enforcement Torch Run Travel Mug and
coupon for free coffee.

It's the 15th consecutive year of the fundraiser. Police aim to surpass last year’s state-wide donation total of $672,000 as they head to 274 Dunkin’ Donuts rooftops to raise awareness and donations for the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.

Each guest who visits a Cop on a Rooftop location that day and makes a donation to the Torch Run will receive a free donut coupon. Guests donating at least $10 will receive a Law Enforcement Torch Run travel mug (while supplies last) and a coupon for free medium coffee.

“Special Olympics means we are all on the same team, no matter what,” said Special Olympics athlete Erin Compton, who will join police officers at Dunkin’ Donuts in Downers Grove and Westmont that day. “My favorite part of the Dunkin’ Donuts event is seeing the police officers on the roof. They are awesome.”
