7th Annual Sgt Ruben Orozco Law Enforcement Run

Membership;

 On a cold windy Sunday, Members of the Sheriff’s Office and the El Paso Law Enforcement Community came out to participate in the 7th Annual Sgt Ruben Orozco Law Enforcement Run. The El Paso community also came out in full force in support of this great event which brings awareness to our athletes of the Special Olympics. The event was held on April 15th.

Special thanks to Sheriff Wiles for providing and coordinating the traffic control for the event. Thanks to the EPCSO Charitable Organization for being one of the title sponsors of the event.
