The two man Kissimmee SWAT Sniper Team took first place at the Florida SWAT Association’s Sniper Competition.
The team members traveled to Lakeland to compete in the Florida SWAT Association’s 10th Annual Sniper Competition that took place from February 5-7, 2014.
The event was held at the Lakeland Police Department’s gun range and hosted teams from all over Florida.
This year’s competition was even more challenging, with the weather being a factor.
The relatively cold and rainy conditions offered a terrific training opportunity that Florida snipers don’t always get a chance to experience.
At the end of the competition, the Kissimmee SWAT Sniper Team consisting of Corporal Bruce Connors and Corporal James Rabb, took first place overall.
“We are very proud of Corporals Rabb and Connors accomplishments. Most of the best snipers from the region participate in this annual event, so this speaks very highly to the competency and effort these two put into their trade,” said Deputy Chief Jeff O’Dell.
