Last month, we had the honor of hosting the Texas Tactical Police Officer’s Association’s Annual SWAT Competition. For three days, our Pasadena Police Department range was home to 44 teams that traveled from across the nation to compete in this year’s competition, making it the largest one to date.
Throughout their time at our facility, the teams ran courses that tested their speed, strength, agility, rifle and handgun skills and overall ability to function under stress as a cohesive unit. And, when all was said and done, the overall #1 team was from right here in our own backyard, Houston PD SWAT.
While our own SWAT team does not compete, our guys were out there working long hours to make sure the event went off without a hitch.
Thank you to TTPOA for entrusting us to host this event and partnering with our department to bring it to life. This event would also not be possible without all of the sponsors, volunteers and teams who dedicated their time and efforts to making this a fun and successful competition.
