Fort Worth Police Dept.

The 2023 World Police and Fire Games may have been in Winnipeg Canada, but after repeatedly hearing “Fort Worth” and “That’s a new record!” announced at the powerlifting venue one might have thought a Texas cattle drive was coming through. The Fort Worth Police Department Powerlifting Team came home with 15 medals (nine gold) and established nine new WPFG records in the various events and weight classes. It’s not their first rodeo either. Read our athlete ambassador feature to learn how they have dominated and are also making a difference in their community.

Krista Francis-Raymah

Krista has been a regular figure on the medal podium at World Police and Fire Games for her track and field performances, most recently winning two Gold and two Silver medals at the 2023 World Police and Fire Games in Winnipeg. Her consistent athletic prowess and positive spirit was recognized when Krista was inducted into the World Police and Fire Games Hall of Fame in 2022.

Rick Dorey

Rick Dorey still laughs about how he got started with archery. His West Palm Beach Fire Department was hosting the Florida Firefighter Games in 1994 and asked him to run archery. He bought a used bow from a pawn shop to better understand the sport and has not stopped competing since. In this athlete ambassador spotlight, Rick reveals how his son has followed him into fire service and shooting arrows at the WPFG.

Richard Bloom

Richard Bloom has always been athletic, but the demands & odd schedules of his work as a lieutenant for the Suffolk County, Massachusetts Sheriff’s Department disrupted his eating & fitness habits and his health declined.
