ALL WAS AT A STAND STILL, WHILE THE SWAT TEAM MOVED
IN ON A VACANT HOUSE, IN HOPES TO SAVE THE VICTIMS INSIDE.
THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE SCENARIOS THAT TOOK PLACE AS MEMBERS OF THE SWAT TEAM ENACTED REAL LIFE SITUATIONS
Our S.W.A.T. Team routinely handles high risk drug search warrants and in the past we have had hostage situations" says Chief Deputy John Kasper, Victoria County.
AND IN THOSE SITUATIONS IT IS THE TRAINING THAT PREVENTS CRITICAL SITUATIONS FROM BECOMING DEADLY, WHETHER IT BE A HOSTAGE SITUATION INVOLVING ONLY A FEW PEOPLE TO A CITY WIDE EVENT INVOLVING A TERRORIST PLOT.
THESE MEMBERS OF THE SWAT TEAM ARE KEPT ON THERE TOES, READY FOR ANY SITUATION THAT COULD OCCUR HERE IN VICTORIA.
AND SAFETY FOR THE TEAM MEMBERS IS AN ISSUE AS WELL. This paintball gun is used in place of a powerful automated weapon.
The next best thing is paintball, they are very close and safety in these weapons and have good training says Victoria County Sheriff T. Michael O'Connor.
