This years champ, Ofc. Marcus Kang of the West Bloomfield Twp. PD - MI., proudly accepts his trophy. A job well done. It'll be a very difficult task to retain the title next year Marcus!!!



Competitors receive a morning briefing and overview of the coming evolutions and events. Then they lined up to get their weapons and gear inspected to increase safety and ensure everyone was within the rules. Finally (lower right), the competitors begin thinking about their 1st evolution of fire.

The CQBEE Hive

This low light, dual building, live fire house drove home the importance of having a light on your patrol rifle in order to make positive threat assessment and target ID. Needless to say, those who did not have lights on their weapons typically did not do very well in this evolution.

Active Shooter 2007

Designed to test the competitor’s ability to recall information, make positive ID, and put accurate rounds on static and moving targets at ranges from 7 to 100 yards.

Precision Decisions 2007

This evolution was designed to challenge the competitor’s ego. It looks extremely simple and temps competitors into taking shoots that maybe outside of their individual capability. It also rewards those who take the risk and succeed. We feel this evolution either made or broke the competition for several competitors. Good lessons were learned here.

Cardiac Attack 2007

This evolution tested the competitor’s rifle marksmanship with an elevated heart rate from standing, kneeing/sitting, and prone shooting positions. Again, time was a factor as after they fired all rifle rounds the competitor had to run to the pistol range to engage CQB targets while remembering some very strict safety rules. This was a very straightforward evolution that took its toll on many competitors.

Static Marksmanship 2007

This evolution had it all, risk/reward, speed v. accuracy, as well as the physical aspect of constantly getting up and down. For those who remembered their "hold over", they did pretty good. Those who didn’t, or forgot about it under the stress of competition, did poorly, especially if they went for the 100 yard head shoots and missed. Congrats to those who did well…

Competition Awards Banquet

After the competition all participants returned to the host hotel where they got cleaned up and attended the Sponsors Appreciation Reception and then the Awards Banquet. 

The Oakland County Sheriff's Department Honor Guard presented the colors with the Metro Detroit Police & Fire Pipe & Drum Corp adding a stirring touch of class to the event.




Major Mark Spicer gave an incredible keynote address to the attendees of the NPRC Awards Banquet.


Center Mass CEO Jeff Felts and NPRC Sponsor Coordinator Frank Moss congratulate event winners at the awards banquet. (Not all prize winners are shown - Of special interest is the top left photo of Sgt. Vinny Palabozo of the Ferndale PD, MI... Is he happy or what???)

 





Conference/Seminar

Top speakers from across the country attended this year’s NPRC and gave presentations on the latest information regarding patrol rifles, training, incident debriefs, and liability reduction. Pictured below are Jeff Chudwin (Left) and Bob Parker (Right). The image in the middle is of CMI CEO Jeff Felts receiving a custom made rug from Jeff Chudwin on behalf of Chief Steve Bronson of Tactical Waterborne Operations that commemorates this year’s NPRC. Chief Bronson had the rug made in Iraq where he is currently fighting the war on terror. Chief Bronson also donated a similar rug to the winner of this year’s NPRC, Marcus Kang.

 

Thank you Chief Bronson for your support and may God Bless you and your family.  

 

 



At this year’s NPRC attendees had the choice to attend "breakout" sessions. This gave the attendee the opportunity to attend presentations that interested them. Det. Brian Sain debriefs an incredible incident he was involved with in Port Arthur Texas.

Below, during breaks, attendees browsed our sponsors gear and services. They also participated in some "nontraditional” prize giveaways that were a lot of fun for everyone.
