The WSTOA 2007 Conference & Competition was a success despite significant difficulties with the facility. Numerous training tracs were conducted as well as having nearly 20 vendors in attendance.
The competition was completed on schedule with 13 teams competing in 6 events. Hanford Patrol’s SRT came away with the top spot followed by the Benton County Regional SWAT Team in second place, the Southwest Regional SWAT Team in third place, and METRO SWAT in fourth place.
We look forward to improving the conference this year and making it an even bigger event.
