This is a training event first and foremost
During this competitive training event each attendee participates in multiple reality-based courses of fire. The training evolutions (COF's) are all relevant to the law enforcement patrol environment and bring the elements of basic rifle marksmanship, close quarter rifle tactics and circumstances that recreate actual law enforcement patrol rifle engagements.
The training evolutions (COF's) are generally 200 yards and closer. They can include moving targets, multiple adversaries, movement, target identification, judgment in the use of force, various positions, physical exertion and mental stress.
The event includes at least four live-fire graded exercises. Therefore, each attendee must bring 100 rounds of rifle and 10 rounds of pistol ammunition. Check the event rules for equipment restrictions.
Each evolution (COF) of fire is unknown to the attendee until they arrive at the NPRC and are subsequently briefed by the instructors. The evolutions (COF's) change every year so there is no way to prepare for one specific skill. This format challenges participants to shoot the course of fire by reacting as they would on the streets of their own jurisdiction, using their issued equipment and departmental training. The attendee's performance is then scored to help them identify their training regimen’s strengths and weaknesses.
If your equipment fails you here, consider it a blessing and make the necessary changes to ensure it doesn’t happen on the street. The bad guy will not give you alibi rounds, redoes, or sympathy and neither will we during this training event.
The organizational benefit of having your officers participate in this independent assessment of their individual skill and your organization’s equipment and training, can be invaluable on the street, and in a court proceeding. Regardless of how your officer scores in comparison to their peers, your agency will be able to unequivocally articulate that it took a proactive position by sending officers to this spontaneous based training program in an effort to validate your training program or gain insight to where individual or organizational performance might be improved upon. Each competitor will receive a training certificate for participating in the National Patrol Rifle Championships and various swag from our gracious vendors and sponsors.
The NPRC enables your agency to document its commitment to ensuring your personnel are receiving the most contemporary, relevant and realistic firearms training and education possible.
The NPRC brings great credibility due its longevity and because the event is guided by an Advisory / Executive Board that includes over 46 law enforcement, military, security, firefighter and industry professionals. It includes personnel from municipal, county, state and federal agencies, as well as, military personnel and subject matter experts from all over North America.
Officers returning from the NPRC will bring back an event program containing detailed courses of fire that can be used by your agency for basic and in-service training purposes. The learning experience at NPRC is unmatched in the law enforcement firearms training industry. If you’re looking for a venue to improve your firearms training programs and help advance your risk mitigation efforts, you’ve found it. Welcome to the NPRC!
Each participant receives the following;
Good luck, and make sure your equipment is ready to go!
