Registration
2012 Registration information coming soon
Eligibility to compete:
- The
North American Police Equestrian Competition is open to law enforcement
officers, civilian posse or volunteers (and horses) who are assigned
to a mounted unit that is sanctioned by a Law Enforcement Agency.
Law enforcement officers not assigned to a mounted unit and own
their own horses are not eligible. The mounted
unit must be an official unit of a law enforcement agency.
- Competitors
must be competing with their department's permission.
- Competitors
must compete in a uniform – no T-Shirts, polo shirts
or tank tops allowed. Exceptions may be made for units such as
the US Secret Service who perform protective duties and do not
wear uniforms. In those cases they must compete in proper riding
attire approved by the NAPEC board.
In
an effort to address the concerns in the letter from the NAPEC
Board of Directors concerning full or part time mounted officers
or civilian volunteers, the following has been decided concerning
this competition:
-
To simplify this issue the competitor should fit into one of 2
categories: either you are a law enforcement officer (as defined
later) or you are a civilian person performing mounted duties
or assignments for a law enforcement agency. Private security
agencies are NOT eligible at this time. For purposes of this competition
we have defined the following as Law Enforcement Officers: police,
sheriff, deputies, rangers, correction officers, secret service
agents, marshals. These officers are also paid for their services.
We will not scrutinize or micro-manage the particulars of your
duties or assignments. You simply must be assigned to a law enforcement
agency’s mounted unit even if that unit is one person.
- Anyone
who feels they are unsure of their designation because of some unusual
nuance or variation should submit the question to the NAPEC 2007
committee at info@napecinc.org
and the NAPEC board of directors will issue a ruling on your status.
