In a moment of immense pride for India, and particularly for the state of Uttar Pradesh, sportspersons from the #UttarPradeshPolice emerged as the top contributors to India’s medal tally at the prestigious #WorldPoliceAndFireGames2025, held in Alabama, USA.
The international multi-sport event witnessed participation from thousands of police officers and fire service personnel from around the globe.
The games, which are known for fostering global camaraderie and showcasing physical excellence among uniformed personnel, saw participation from as many as 63 countries this year.
Athletes competed across a broad range of sports disciplines, including athletics, wrestling, shooting, weightlifting, swimming, and more.
India made an impressive mark on the global stage by securing third place in the overall # tally, bagging a remarkable 560 medals across various events — a testament to the country’s growing emphasis on fitness and sporting excellence within its uniformed services.
A major share of that success came from the athletes representing the Uttar Pradesh Police, who delivered an extraordinary performance. They brought home a total of 95 medals, comprising 45 gold, 34 silver, and 16 bronze.
These medals were won in a diverse array of categories such as #Athletics, #Wrestling, #Shooting, #Weightlifting, and #Swimming, showcasing the depth of talent and training within the force.
The achievement drew high praise from Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Krishna, who personally congratulated all the medal winners. He said their outstanding performance has brought immense honour not only to the police department but also to the entire state of #UttarPradesh.
“These sportspersons have shown the world that our force is not only committed to public safety and law enforcement but also to physical excellence and international sporting spirit,” the DGP said.
