Eddie Eagle @ NPSC

Eddie Eagle's booth has been a flurry of activity. Give aways include the Eddie Eagle comic books, DVD, and stickers, pictured above.

"We've had a lot of competitors stopping by to see what they can pick up to bring back to their departments," Eddie Eagle manager Eric Lipp said. "We've also experienced competitors stopping by to let us know how the program works for them and to check on new, supplemental materials for their existing programs."

The Eddie Eagle program recently announced it has reached 21 million children with its message of gun safety.

As a promotion specific to the National Police Shooting Championships, the department is offering a raffle in which one lucky agency will win its own Eddie Eagle.

"We're advertising a New Mexico costume contest where the winning law enforcement agency has the chance to win an Eddie Eagle costume valued at more than $2,600," Lipp said.

Stop by the booth in Building B, pictured below, or, if you can't make it tomorrow, e-mail eddie@nrahq.org or call 800-231-0752.
