The World Police and Fire Games includes around 8,000 participants from more than 50 countries.
The week of the Calgary Stampede can be a pretty stressful time for Calgary police and other first responders in the city.About 80 Calgary first responders are leaving soon for the Manitoba city to compete in the World Police and Fire Games .The WPFG includes around 8,000 participants from more than 50 countries.“It’s an amazing experience and atmosphere,” Calgary Police Service Det. Kendra Laustsen said.
“Not only do we have a commonality of playing the same sport, but also of working law enforcement or first responding,” Laustsen said. Attending the WPFG comes as a nice change from daily duty on the front lines, especially during a busy time like the Calgary Stampede. “We get that liquid courage going and the beers are flowing, so sometimes people make funny decisions, and we just have to try to help resolve those situations,” CPS Const. Duke Maodus said.Maodus will be taking the field to play flag football at the WPFG.
