The week-long event show-cased special operations teams from Hungary, Sweden, Jamaica, and Brazil, along with competitors around the state of Florida and across the United States.

SWAT teams from law enforcement agencies both nationally and international competed in events that challenged individuals and teams alike. The annual SWAT Round-up International combines education and training with head-to-head competition.

SWAT members routinely rely on their skills, training, physical and mental sharpness, and an elevated level of teamwork to safely defuse dangerous situations such as warrants; as well as apprehending heavily- armed criminals.

We commend our SWAT team on a job well done as well as demonstrating the training, skills, and teamwork that exemplifies success.
