2012 CT S.W.A.T. Challenge Winner

August 26, 2012 By 5 Comments

CT SWAT Challenge 2012 Champs

It’s official, the 2012 Connecticut SWAT Challenge winner is the Connecticut State Police West Team. This marks the 4th new winner in the past four years which is a testament to how competitive this training comp has become.

The CSP wrestled the title from their own East team and the 2011 Champs, the Massachusetts State Police, who finished second and third respectively. Coming in at fourth place was Union County NJ and in fifth place was former champ and hometown favorite, North Central EST. This year was our best year yet and we owe an incredible debt of gratitude to our sponsors and vendors who continue to provide the most selfless and unreal donations of any event in the country.

We were thrilled to see our brothers from the north, the Quebec Nuclear SWAT Team put on a great display of talent and heart as they became our first international entry into the CSC.

Congrats to all the great teams and individuals who reminded all of us that we are an elite group who are bound together by an invisible tie that is stronger than steel. Stay tuned to this site as full individual and team results will be posted tomorrow.
