This special operation will begin Thursday, August 28th at 6:00 AM; officers will head to the rooftop with the help of KIUC, at the Lihue Walmart, located at 3-3300 Kuhio Hwy, Lihue, HI 96766 for the “Cop on Top” event.

Police officers will be on the ground and the roof to search for their suspects. Officers will not rest until they find their $25,000.00 funds to benefit Special Olympics Kauai Athletes.

“We will be accepting donations during the event, and Special Olympics T-shirts and other incentives will be available,” said Jocelyn Barriga, Area Director of Special Olympics Kauai.

“The Cop on Top fundraiser for Kauai’s Special Olympic athletes is a long-standing tradition for KPD officers. It really is a blessing that our community is so generous and supportive of our athletes. I feel I speak for all officers who have been atop the roof when I say that sacrificing our time for this worthy cause is a small gesture to give back to our community,” said Kauai Police Department’s Sgt. Rod Green.

SOK would like to thank major sponsors Falko Partners, along with special contributors KIUC, Ka’iwa Construction and the Kauai Police Department for making this event possible.
