<p>Ventura County Sheriff&rsquo;s deputies will take their oath to &ldquo;serve&rdquo; and protect to a new level.&nbsp; They&rsquo;ll trade in their handcuffs and badges for menus and serving trays to assist servers at Red Robin Restaurant in Thousand Oaks on Thursday, October 20, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.&nbsp; Sheriff&rsquo;s professional staff and volunteers will also be on hand to assist deputies in support of the event.&nbsp; The public is invited to enjoy a great meal and then &ldquo;tip-a-cop.&rdquo;&nbsp; Donations in the form of tips will benefit Ventura County Special Olympics.&nbsp; All tips are tax-deductible.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ventura County Special Olympics offers training and competition opportunities in 10 different year-round sports to people with intellectual disabilities at over 20 different training sites throughout Ventura County.&nbsp; This program not only provides physical fitness from participating in athletic competitions, but also encourages social interaction and community involvement.&nbsp; Special Olympics athletes will be working with deputies as they serve customers at Tip-A-Cop.</p>

<p>Tip-A-Cop events are one of the main fundraisers for the Law Enforcement Torch Run.&nbsp; The Torch Run is part of a year-round, grassroots fundraising campaign by law enforcement agencies to benefit their local Special Olympics programs.&nbsp; The Torch Run makes its debut annually in the month of June when members of the Ventura County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office and Special Olympic Athletes carry the torch as it makes its way through Ventura County and continues to Long Beach for the start of the summer games.</p>
