Slippery Rock University will be the hub for the 2024 Butler County Can-Am Police-Fire Games, which is a multi-sport, Olympic-style event featuring traditional sports and competitions that include skills used in first responders' day-to-day work.

The Can-Am Police-Fire Games will take place July 15 to 21, 2024, and will have competitors from all levels of law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency medical service providers, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, corrections officers and more.

There will be more than 50 different events throughout the week at the host venue and other locations, such as Moraine State Park, Michelle Krill Field at Historic Pullman Park, Tarentum Sportsmen’s Club, UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex and more. Events include running, cycling, pistol and rifle shooting, ice hockey, powerlifting, archery, and Toughest Firefighter Alive.

The games are expected to bring in more than 3,000 participants and their families from the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest and Canada. Contestants and spectators will be staying in Butler County for the duration of the event, which will have a significant economic impact for the area.
