Cop On A Rooftop: Where To Find Officers In Skokie

SKOKIE, IL — Officers from the Skokie Police Department will be staking out the rooftop of a Touhy Avenue Dunkin' Donuts location Friday morning. It's part of the 16th annual Cop on a Rooftop event, which raises money for the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.

Local officers can be spotted from 5 a.m. to noon atop the Dunkin' Donuts at 5150 Touhy Ave. Green Bay Rd., in the Hubbard Woods Shopping Center. Each visitor to a Cop on Top location on May 18 that makes a donation to the Torch Run will receive a coupon for a free donut.

Donors who give $10 or more will receive a Law Enforcement Torch Run travel mug and a coupon for a free coffee, and Torch Run t-shirts will be sold starting at $15. Events will be taking place across Illinois. There is a $720,000 statewide fundraising goal this year and nearly 300 participating locations.

Dunkin’ Donuts also has created a special glazed red and white donut ring depicting Special Olympics Illinois colors. The donut, called “The Champion,” will be available at Dunkin’ Donuts locations in Chicago and suburbs for one day only.

Find more locations for 2018 Cop on a Rooftop and stop by to support your local law enforcement and Special Olympics athletes. More than $3.9 million has been raised over the past 15 years of the event, with $700,000 donated last year.
