Staccato2011®, the creators of the 2011® pistol platform, is proud to announce the second annual National SWAT Championship. The National SWAT Championship is a festival-style event and competition that brings together industry-leading brands and the best law enforcement teams from across the country for the ultimate test of skill, teamwork, and an always-ready mentality while celebrating the dedication and excellence of those who serve and protect. It’s taking place October 22-26, 2025, at Staccato Vegas in Pahrump, Nevada.
What is the National SWAT Championship
Fallen Blue
All proceeds from the 2025 National SWAT Championship will benefit Fallen Blue. This is a non-profit organization with a mission to support the families of officers who have fallen in the line of duty. They provide grants for necessities such as housing, transportation, medical, and education costs. Fallen Blue provides direct assistance to ease the financial burdens experienced by those families.
“The National SWAT Championship is more than a competition. It’s a celebration of America’s most dedicated law enforcement professionals and an opportunity to give back to the families of those who lost their lives while serving and protecting their communities,” said Justin Honea, co-CEO for Staccato. “We’re honored to host this event alongside so many wonderful brands and to support the powerful efforts of Fallen Blue.”
Competitors
More than 40 elite SWAT and law enforcement teams will compete for cash prizes across eight dynamic stages designed to test shooting proficiency, tactical acumen, and operational cohesion. The competition will culminate in a head-to-head finale between the top two teams to crown the 2025 National SWAT Champion.
Each team will be comprised of five full-time sworn officers from the tactical operations team (i.e., SWAT, SRT, SORT, etc.) of the law enforcement agency where they are employed. Credentials will be verified during the registration process.
For each stage of the event, four team members will participate. This allows the team to rotate members to allow those who are best suited at each stage to compete. There must be at least four team members able to compete at each level. If, for any reason, two or more team members withdraw from the competition, the entire team will be pulled.
Bonus Features
In addition to team competition, attendees and spectators will have the opportunity to test their own skills during side matches and competition stages for both civilian and law enforcement participants. Each course of fire, spanning the renowned facilities and HAVOC courses of Staccato Vegas, is uniquely designed to challenge and inspire shooters of all levels.
Beyond the competitions, the event will feature hands-on product demonstrations and showcases from leading brands in the shooting industry. Attendees can experience the latest innovations from Trijicon, Staccato, 5.11, Savior Equipment, Silencer Shop, and more.
