I have been able to help my post and department win awards through multiple competitions. Recently my post has won an award in January for a SWAT competition. We placed second in a competition called terrorist takeover. As well as in July of 2022 my post and team were able to bring home twelve separate awards back home. I was able to bring three home which included Fifth in high risk traffic stops, second in cell searches, and finally first in unknown trouble.
