NRA Police Pistol Combat Competitions

The intent of PPC competitions is to provide police officers with a competitive program which will improve their skill and competence.

Police Pistol Combat Program Bulletin

Competitors frequently contact the Law Enforcement Competitions Department with rule-related equipment and firearm questions, or about issues dealing with tournament reporting, forms, targets, PPC classification, and the Distinguished program.

Using these valuable questions, we have developed the Police Pistol Combat Program Bulletin. Each bulletin answers a specific question concerning the Police Pistol Combat program and passes on information from Law Enforcement Competitors that is useful to PPC program participants.

Just check out the Police Pistol Program Bulletin index below and click on the bulletin number you are interested in.
