The World Police and Fire Games competitors are back from a big week of competition in the Netherlands, and we had the chance to catch up with a few of them. This international sporting event is for police, fire, and corrections service personnel. More than 10,000 competitors represented 70 different countries at this year's games. And some of our very own Terre Haute Police Department members had the chance to compete. They represented Team Indiana during the 10-day competition, several of whom walked home with medals in honor of THPD. "There is a lot of camaraderie at the games," Dale Blunk, one of the competitors representing THPD, said. "You get to meet police and fire [members] from all around the world. That part is a lot of fun and just seeing how we stack up against all of the other girls and guys from other countries."
