Kevin Miles - Co-working and competing!

Hello there! My name is Kevin Miles and I am a retired FBI agent from Western Massachusetts.

This year my wife, Reggie, and I are coming over to the Games in Belfast. Both of us are going to be competitors which will be great fun - fortunately we won’t be going up against each other as we’re in different events! That’s probably a very good thing since we have pretty much followed the same path career-wise for the past 23 years!!

We met each other on the first day of our FBI training and were in the same Academy class at Quantico. We worked together for three years in Buffalo, NY Division; we were on the Organised Crime Squad and then on the Narcotics Squad. We then worked in the Los Angeles Division for 17 years. For the first three of those years we worked together on the Joint Terrorism Task Force - I worked in Domestic Terrorism and Reggie worked International Terrorism. We both recently retired from the FBI - on the very same day, of course! We now work together for Troy Asymmetric in West Springfield, Massachusetts.

This will be my second time at World Police and Fire Games and it will be my wife’s fifth (I have a serious bit of catching up to do!). I will be doing the Triathlon and Regina will be doing the Push-Pull event. We are both really looking forward to the Games and meeting up with all the other international competitors – I just hope I pick up a better medal than my wife!!

Let the Games begin!

My name is Nicci Gregg and I am going to be a volunteer at this year’s World Police and Fire Games, as part of the media team.

Although the actual Games are not kicking off until August, for me as a volunteer, this weekend’s orientation event is the beginning of my WPFG journey and I am so excited to see what’s in store.

I found out just this month that I have been accepted as part of the media team and I could not be happier.  When I decided to volunteer I was really hoping I would get the chance to help out with the media side of things as it relates to my career - I work for Coca-Cola within the PR and Communications department and I think working at the Games will give me a great opportunity to really enhance my skills and learn new ones.

I am really excited about the orientation event this Saturday; I think it will be great to have a better idea of what to expect this summer, and I hear the infamous ‘Da’ from Give My Head Peace is hosting, which is sure to provide a few laughs!  I am also intrigued to find out what our volunteer uniform is going to look like. I had a dream Roberto Cavalli designed it; that could be true, right?

I have been asked to speak on stage this Saturday to represent the media team. I have never spoken to over 3000 people before, so that is sure to be an experience I will never forget, hopefully in a good way. If I faint, someone please catch me….maybe an ‘Ultimate Fire Fighter’?

See you on Saturday, I’ll be the girl trembling on stage. Don’t laugh!
