National Police Rodeo Association

The Cowboy, the Police Officer, and the Firefighter are all American Heroes. The NPRA is a non-profit organization of law enforcement officers and firefighters, dedicated to the Western lifestyle, and to preserving the traditional link between cowboys and cops.

members to compete in various rodeos around
California and Nevada, promoting wholesome values
in the spirit of friendly competition. Proceeds from our
rodeos are donated to charities that benefit
disabled children, such as NAHRA and Special
Olympics. Traditional rodeo events are featured
in performances, along with events not seen in the
PRCA. In addition to the usual bronc and bull riding,
calf roping, team roping, and barrel racing, we
showcase a number of non-traditional events which
allow family members of all ages to join in the fun.
While the crowd may laugh at the antics of calf
dressing, the competitors are deadly serious, and
they're in it to win!

CHUTE DOGGING

This variation of steer wrestling allows non-mounted contestants to compete. The cowboy comes out of a bucking chute holding a steer by the horns. After crossing a line he flips the steer to the ground with all 4 feet in the air.

GOAT TYING

Commonly seen in high school and junior rodeos, a goat is tied to a stake. The cowgirl rides across the arena over a score line to the goat, dismounts, flanks and ties the goat in a manner similar to calf roping.

CALF DRESSING

This is the cowgirls' version of steer dressing using a calf instead
of a steer. A major favorite with the crowd.

WOMEN'S BREAKAWAY ROPING

Similar to calf roping, except the cowgirl's time stops when the rope
breaks away from the saddle horn, and she does not dismount.

BUSINESSMAN'S ROPING

A version of calf roping with two cowboys assuming separate roles of roper and tier.

RIBBON ROPING

In this coed event, a mounted cowboy or cowgirl ropes a calf. His or her partner must then catch the calf, and remove a ribbon from its tail, running back across a score line. The kids like to get involved in this one.
