The sponsors and vendors who came
to the 2007 Connecticut SWAT Challenge
truly made this event better.
These law enforcement companies took the
time and effort to come to this event
and bring their products as well as
their expertise in Police and SWAT
related equipment. Our WHPD SWAT
team has seen the benefit of these sponsors and vendors firsthand at the World SWAT Challenge. We took the time to meet and speak to these vendors who were generous enough to T&E some new SWAT technology that we would have never seen without such a venue. We now employ some of this “latest” technology as a direct result of meeting the sponsors and vendors who come to such an event. At the CSC, we had a variety of companies that spanned the spectrum of SWAT and Police related equipment and goods. SWAT Teams, their operators, their Chiefs and administrators, as well as their purchase personnel, were able to examine and handle the tools that these vendors and sponsors brought. Additionally, we got to mingle and meet the representatives of these companies, many for the first time. But these sponsors and vendors were not simply content with showing their wares and speaking to the Police Officers who came to the event. These sponsors and vendors stepped up in a huge manner and donated a bevy of prizes and goods to the participating teams and Officers.
NEARLY $80,000 of SWAT and Police
equipment was donated to our competitors
FREE by our generous sponsors and
vendors. The one comment from a SWAT operator that summed the sponsors and vendors efforts up best was:
“I
can’t believe how much stuff they
donated and gave away. It was
unreal. It seemed like it was
never going to end. I am just
amazed at the vendors and sponsors”.
Our goal at the CSC is not to bring in the most vendors, or the biggest vendors, but rather to bring in the best vendors so the SWAT Teams at the CSC
can equip themselves with the best
equipment to protect the public.
In turn, we promise to treat our
sponsors and vendors like gold. We
are constantly getting feedback from our
vendors and then improving on our
approaches to make our vendor venue the
best in the country. Our pledge is
that we will make the event not only
better for the participants every year,
but better for the sponsors and vendors.
It is with this in mind that we head
towards the 2008 Connecticut SWAT
Challenge. We are supremely
confident that the sponsors and vendors
who have supported our event, will see a
great improvement in a number of
aspects. We look forward to your
continued support, and again thank you.
We’ll
see you in
2008!
