Kingston Police donate $20,000 from NAPEC to United Way

The success of the 2016 North American Police Equestrian Championships held here in Kingston will directly benefit countless charities and agencies throughout the area. On Wednesday, Nov. 16, Kingston Police announced the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (KFL&A) as the charity of choice to receive all proceeds from the North American Police Equestrian Championships (NAPEC), which Kingston Police hosted at the former Kingston Penitentiary over four days in September of this year. The event was one of four Kingston Police has hosted this year to mark their 175th anniversary, and was an incredible success, thanks to the countless volunteers and organizers who helped make the event happen, said Kingston Police Chief Gilles Larochelle, calling NAPEC a “very, very special event.”
