MPCPA

The association was formed in 1973 by a group of police officers to enhance their shooting skills. They decided to make it more interesting and fun by competing against each other. All police officer/reserve officers were invited to join in the fun. The group was growing so the members decided to form an association. The Board of Directors and bylaws were then compiled. You had to be a police officer/reserve officer and a member of the NRA to become a member. The board decided to have one large awards banquet at the end of the year instead of several banquet during the year. The membership dues were decided upon and that is used to pay for the awards. The awards are divided into four or five classes. From top to bottom there is a high master, master, expert, sharp shooter, and marksman.
