On Saturday November the 18th Detective Mike "The Fighting Dutchman" Klinefelter competed in the second annual Guns n’ Hoses competition at Memorial Hall in Kansas City. Detective Klinefelter walked away with a win in his division, and bragging rights over all others.  Detective Klinefelter is one of only two individuals who won consecutive belts in their division.

Guns ‘N Hoses is an amateur boxing show featuring policemen versus firemen from the Missouri counties of Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platt; and the Kansas counties of Johnson, Wyandotte, and Miami. All bouts will be supervised by USA Boxing, which is the national governing body of amateur boxing in the United States.

Seventy-five percent of the proceeds go to S.A.F.E. The Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment Fund exists to serve the families of law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergence service personnel in the Kansas City Metropolitan area who have perished while protecting our community and their citizens.

We do this in an effort to help ease the pain felt by those suffering families through emotional and financial support. In this way we hope to repay some of the kindness, dedication and ultimately the sacrifice that these heroes have shown us. The other twenty-five percent of the proceeds from this event will go to support local amateur boxing programs to help prevent juvenile delinquency in our community.
