PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (WCAX) - The New York State Police's Troop B division took part in the Special Olympics torch run in Plattsburgh Friday. Police were joined by students who cheered them on as they made the trek toward City Hall. Joining them was Troop B's new commander, Maj. Brent Davison, who says they are also running to honor two fallen officers who died from health complications caused by the Sep. 11 attacks. Davison says the athletes who participate in the Special Olympics are an inspiration to law enforcement.
