Our SWAT team averages one thousand man hours a year on special assignments, such as hostage rescue, bank surveillance, narcotic interdictions, take-downs, and special security details. The team trains an average of eight hours per month to help maintain proficiency in tactics as well as special weapons training. In 2003 our Sniper Team placed 5th out of seventy-two teams from around the world in a major sniper competition.
