Congrat's CEMLEC!

The West Hartford Police Department held it's 7th annual CT SWAT Challenge last week, 8/21-8/23. The team finished in 7th place among 37 teams. There were 6 shooting events and the grueling 5.5 mile PT Challenge with 33 stations was the toughest one yet.

Here, the team loads up for the multi-gun challenge. The tent was loaded with tear gas, a stray wind had the crowd of spectators coughing and giggling at the same time.

If an accident or injury should occur, the competitors had some of the best tac-medics going to take care of them.

Also of note, my friends with the Worcester Police SWAT came in a respectable 11th place. Very good for their second year out. 

The MA State Police STOP Team fought hard to defend their 2011 win but fell just shy to the CT State Police.
