 Click here for the 2025 NPRC Vendor & Sponsor Invitation and Registration form 

The NPRC offers a value packed marketing opportunity for manufacturers, distributors and service providers who sell firearms, accessories and related services in support of law enforcements mission to protect and serve.

New for 2025, we are inviting qualified citizens to come train and compete with their law enforcement officers. Our goal in doing this is to give law enforcement agencies a very unique opportunity to help promote the event because it will help improve their readiness and relationships with their counter parts in the fire and medical services (medics, nurses, doctors), not to mention their citizens, politicians and business communities who are all stake holders in a communities response to violence. To help even further with this goal, we are offering substantial discounts to citizens shooters who sponsor (pay for) a law enforcement officer to attend the NPRC.

Although the event is relatively small, the pay off for you comes from how we funnel the competitors to you all day long. Our vendors and sponsors are considered our partners. As such, we place you in the center of the non-stop action. Vendors get a 10x10 booth (see the invitation) and sponsors get the same with one MAJOR exception. The sponsors booth is on a range so you can have perspective customers handle and live fire your products.

In past years, the NPRC draws between 100-150 1st responders from across the country (predominately Michigan, Ohio & Illinios). Many of the attendees are instructors, supervisors or administrators who influence the gear and service selections for their organizations.

The NPRC has five co-hosts and three support organizations who all contribute to support the event through their marketing channels to help draw more attendees. They include the Michigan Tactical Officers Association, the Ohio Tactical Officers Association, the Illinois Tactical Officers Association, the Georgia Tactical Officers Association and Americansnipers.org. We are also supported by the National Rifle Association, Police Magazine.

Our sponsors and vendors are treated as our partners with the sole goal of yielding a maximum return on your company’s marketing investment. We hope to see you at this year’s event!

SPONSOR'S RANGE

The sponsor's range is located directly in the middle of the ranges that the competitors are using during the championships. Foot traffic is constant and there is no better way to show a product than to allow a potential customer to try your product. This unique marketing opportunity is only open to our sponsors.

The sponsors range is only open to the competitors and other LE personnel who are spectating. At a sponsor's discretion, they may allow Multi-Lake Conservation Association Members to shoot.

Sponsors will have either a 10 yard or 50 yard range to demo their products during the championships. Space is limited to Gold Sponsors and above.

GENERAL EVENT INFORMATION

At Center Mass, we too attend various trade-shows across the country as a vendor and that experience has taught us what we the NPRC must provide for our sponsors and vendors, i.e. face-time with potential customers and decision makers. Therefore, when we plan the NPRC, we do so with the following objectives:

1. To partner with credible organizations to help market the event to ensure we hit our attendance goals.

2. To treat our vendors and sponsors as our partners and listen to their input from one year to the next in an effort to make improvements that will help them sell more.

3. We actively engage our vendors and sponsors in a manner that gives them an opportunity to interact with the attendees both formally and informally so relationships can be built. You will eat and share in the comradery at the same tables as our attendees.

4. We give our sponsors and vendors a certain amount of raffle tickets to give away to the attendees to increase their odds of winning a prize and incentivizes them to come to your booth. However, in order to get raffle tickets, they must give you a business card. You decide how many tickets you give to each attendee.

5. Sponsors are located in the same locations as the attendees. In fact, you’re on the same range during the championships.

6. We design the flow of the event to encourage and enable the attendee to interact with all the sponsors / vendors to view their gear and services in an effort to improve individual and organizational readiness.

7. The refreshment and food stations are strategically positioned to assist in channeling the attendees past our sponsor’s and vendors booths every time they break, or need to use the rest room.

8. Our recurring goal is to put on excellent training for the attendees in an organized, safe and secure manner so that they will tell others about the event and increase attendance in the following year.

We are very excited about the 2025 events and look forward to you & your company being a part of them.
