Description
The NSCA Foundation administers this equipment grant to help law enforcement officers improve their health and on-the-job safety through increased strength, power, and defensive-tactics training. The award supports access to DC Blocks® products, helping officers prepare to protect and serve their communities. It is part of the Foundation’s broader support for inclusivity in strength and conditioning through coaching advancement and equipment grants across professional and educational backgrounds.
The grant honors the Belleville, Illinois, police officers who supported Derrick Crass during his return to the Olympics for a second time in 1988. It connects that history of support with the training needs of law enforcement personnel.
