Mayor Scott Avedisian joined Colonel Stephen McCartney and members of the Warwick SWAT Team Wednesday to celebrate the team’s recent first place win at the Connecticut SWAT challenge. The 12th Annual Connecticut SWAT Challenge, held August 23-25 in West Hartford and comprised of 35 teams, saw the Warwick SWAT Team beat out a US Army Ranger Team, the Rhode Island State Police, and the Connecticut State Police, just to name a few. Warwick has competed in the competition for the past 8 years and has always maintained a top 10 finish. In addition to the first place win, the team also took home the Aimpont Hostage Rescue Award, the Mile High Shooting Team Sniper Award and First Spear Out of State Team award. (Warwick Beacon photo)
