Vintage USPF Police & Fire

The California Police Olympics were first held in 1967. The concept evolved over the years and led to the creation of the World Police & Fire Games Federation—a non-profit organization, run by the Californian Police Athletics Federation—in 1983. Two years later, in 1985, the first World Police & Fire Games were held in San Jose, California, USA, with nearly 5,000 competitors. (excerpt from www.cpaf.org)
 
During the 1980's-90's, the USPF was very involved with the CA Police Olympics and World Police & Fire Games Powerlifting competitions with numerous USPF records being made/broken.
 
The Vintage Records and photos are from these meets and era.

Tom Eldridge, Los Angeles County Fire Department Asst. Fire Chief, was instrumental in implementing powerlifting into the CA Fireman Olympics.  The yearly event's location alternates between northern and southern CA.  Tom ran the southern event along with keeping all of the CA Fireman Olympics' powerlifting records until his demise in 1991.
