This was a special assignment.

The Natick Police Department recently participated in the Special Olympics Massachusetts Cruiser Convoy.

The department joined law enforcement agencies from across the Commonwealth to escort Special Olympics athletes and show their continued support for an organization that promotes inclusion, determination, and opportunity for all.

The department thanked Special Olympics Massachusetts, the athletes, volunteers, and everyone who helped make the event a success. “We were honored to be a part of this incredible tradition and look forward to supporting future events,’’ the department stated.
