The NRA’s support for law enforcement dates back to 1916. In 1960 the NRA Law Enforcement Division was formed to provide the law enforcement community with a means of certifying firearm instructors. To further encourage law enforcement officers to gain more experience, training and time on the range using their duty firearms, the NRA created the Police Pistol Combat (PPC) competitions, Tactical Police competitions and the National Police Shooting Championships.

NRA’s Law Enforcement Competitions provides law enforcement officers with a competitive program geared to improve their skills and abilities. To participate in these events, you must meet NRA's eligibility requirements listed in Rule 2.4 of the Police Pistol Combat Rulebook.
