[align=center]I have been wondering a long time how every day folks rate against the counties finest. Looks like that might be answered soon....[/align]

Giving it Their Best Shot
The Fairfax County Police Department is hosting a tactical police competition Saturday, June 20 designed to test the shooting skills of 70 officers from around the region. The contest will evaluate each officer’s skill using a variety of duty weapons and equipment, in scenario-based formats. Challenges will include: assessing threat and non-Givthreat targets; firing from varied shooting positions; making tactical decisions while moving through a course; using cover and working around visual barriers; being responsible for ammunition management; and balancing the critical relationship between accuracy with speed.

Where: Fairfax County Firearms Range, 3721 Stonecroft Boulevard, Chantilly, VA
When: Media availability between 10 a.m. and noon
Contact: PIO 703-246-2253 to reserve your spot [/align]

I don't believe this is open to the GP.:X
NLVPD did this a few yrs back and allowed the GP,they gottheir ^$$"$ handed to them.
The top five in all events weren't LE.:lol:

Categories included:
Pistol
Shotgun
Carbine/rifle out to 100 yrds
Subgun

Last yr after this event the family and I ran into a few LEO's from Jersey at Applebee's.

I don't think it will be open to the public either, I just hope the results and the setup are so you can get a sense of perspective and potentially recreate for your own safe evaluation purposes :)

Having shot the NLV event yrs ago a range with the ability to shot at least 160 degrees is helpful/almost mandatory.

Other almost mandatory items include moving targets,stage props (building facades), moving targets, 100+yrd rangeand possibly a clearing house.

Sounds like one would have to invest in one of the classes at NRA or at Silver Eagle to try and do this, or one of the other advanced schools. It will be interesting to see what comes out afterwards.

If you want to see the best of both LEO and regular joes get their butts handed back to themselves, schedule a trip to the National Tactical Invitationals. http://www.teddytactical.com/

Nobody comes out unscathed. Nobody shoots a clean round with no mistakes. Everybody wins as everybody learns. They post everything on the website so those that cannot watch or choose not to participate can share in the learning process.

stay safe.
