IT'S OVER!!

The toughest SWAT Challenge in the United States is now over and a new Champion is crowned!  The Central Region ERT (Bristol,Plainville,Southington) narrowly wrestled the title from the Connecticut State Police Tactical Unit #1 in the best CT SWAT Challenge yet.  33 teams and 80+ vendors and sponsors highlighted this years' event that included 3 sniper initiated events, an IR illuminated night shoot and a 5.7 mile PT Challenge that featured 25 testing stations. Four states were represented, as well as the Army, Air Force, Federal and Correction teams from across the Northeast.  Additionally, an open handgun challenge and open rifle challenge attracted another 150 and 110 shooters respectively.  Three major television news stations covered the event, with Fox61 airing a Special Assignment segment that ran multiple times and was the longest feature of the night.

For many years in the tactical community in the Northeast, SWAT Operators have spoken of the importance of having joint SWAT training and SWAT competitions. The intrinsic value of SWAT Challenges can be measured on a variety of levels.

The 4th annual Connecticut SWAT Challenge is over and the SWAT community in the northeast should be thrilled with their accomplishments.  In just our fourth year, we increased the number of participating teams to 33, which makes it the 3rd largest SWAT competition in the United States.  SWAT teams from CT, NJ, MA, RI as well as State Police ERT units, Department of Corrections SOG's, United States Army and Air Force units and the Federal Bureau of Prisons all participated in this event. 2008 ushered in some great innovations and unique events in order to create the best SWAT Challenge in the United States.  There were 8 events in this years' challenge, highlighted by the most grueling physical fitness challenge in ANY SWAT or police event in America.  This 5.7 mile PT challenge had 24 testing stations along the course which were all designed to test the physical and mental fortitude of the operators. There was an IR illuminated Night Stalker Shoot, as well as 3 separate sniper initiated challenges. The Patriot3 platform was used, as was a 50 foot lull to test our snipers, which are some of the top in the country.  Unlike so many "competitions" our SWAT Operators competed in full duty gear, to include entry vests with level 4 plates, Ballistic helmets, BDU's and tactical holsters.  Over 80 vendors and sponsors came to support these Operators and they gave away over $100,000 in product to them!  Yes, that's right, our vendors and sponsors GAVE AWAY $100,000 in prizes to include rifles, handguns, medical gear, ballistic shields, entry vests, equipment cases, optics, and a slew of other top flight products.  Find out why this is the one SWAT Challenge in the USA that every team and law enforcement company should attend ...
