S.W.A.T Team Shake-Up

I am proud to be a SWAT member and a police officer I have worn the uniform of several different departments and I must say SWAT is the pentacle of my career. Not for the Guns , Gear or greatness associated with it because the truth is SWAT is a lot of stand down which by the way is what I pray for every mission to come out to no loss or injury to any of us yes that includes the bad guys to. Now if someone makes the wrong move and we must do it that is what I am trained to deal with also. I have read a lot of negative about current commanders and I feel all of the bosses former city and county are ok with me because the truth of the matter is that they have NEVER done anything that WE as a team did not all agree on or that was not safe. I feel if they said someone needs us will you do itâ?¦ NO QUESTION â?¦ DUTYâ?¦.MISSIONâ?¦I hate to see some good operators leave and feel the pain of loosing friends of the team but in the middle of all this talkâ?¦my Mom, My Sister OUR Family Good People WILL NEED SWAT and all this stuff will be in the past because when that time comes it is the individual effort placed in the team setting that results in great things Again DUTY..

KSP SRT is a great example of this fact with only 12 guys (And many commander changes) they still maintain an operational tempo that could rival LAPD or even some SF units. What I can say about SWAT is all about the above of DUTY, MISSION, and most importantly HONOR... I realize as a SWAT officer there is even a greater chance of seeing my brothers get killed in the line of duty or even my self Killed â?¦But I want my team members past and current and the public to know when you need SWAT WE WILL answerer the call and do the JOB! And for all the Guys with the negative waves well I know it could not be SWAT guys that I have worked with and am willing to Get Killed for because our creed is to keep what is held confidential in the performance of our duty just that.. And if there are guys leaving the team it has to be for there own individual reasons I

Pray you find peace with your decision; PS if you decide to leave know We WILL split up your good GEAR! � Stay Safe

Would a compliment from this admin. mean much to you? If it would then thats alright, it's your opinion but for me I would rather not have it; at least that is one way the administration (chief)'s true feelings show.
