Leading online law enforcement companies team up with co-marketing partnership
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Police1.com, the leading online information and training resource for law enforcement, today announced that it is partnering with OnTarget Challenge, Inc. (OTC), a leading producer of police, fire and military competitions. The partnership is aimed at driving online exposure to OnTarget’s SWAT series of competitive law enforcement events as well as promoting Police1.com at events across the country.
The partnership brings together two of the top entities in the law enforcement community. With a community of more than 175,000 law enforcement professionals, Police1 provides a complete array of resources online, in print through The Police Marksman, and in person through the Calibre Press Street Survival Seminars. OnTarget’s Original SWAT World Challenge, a competitive series that encompasses all of North America and attracts teams from around the world, is the only SWAT competition that has enjoyed continuous television coverage, airing on high-profile networks such as ESPN and OLN from 2004 through 2006.
“PoliceOne has been very successful in an area that has always been key to us: bringing together law enforcement personnel,” said Patrick Jameson, Executive Vice President of OnTarget Challenge, Inc. “By partnering together, we will be able to do an even better job of bringing our and our sponsors’ events, products and services to a broader audience for the benefit of the entire law enforcement community.”
The SWAT series consists of four primary competitions: the Original SWAT World Challenge, the World Series of SWAT, the Northeastern SWAT Challenge and the Law Enforcement Officer Performance and Reaction Drill Challenge (LEOPARD) Challenge. The competitions are aimed at testing the fitness, organization, skills and teamwork of SWAT teams through a number of stressful and realistic scenarios.
With the new partnership, Police1 and OnTarget aim to expand the training opportunities for world class SWAT teams, expand the field of international competitors and increase attendance at the events.
“One of our top priorities is to effectively spread information about law enforcement safety and training both nationally and internationally,” said Alex Ford, CEO of Police1. “This partnership with OnTarget, the most visible and respected entity in competitive law enforcement events, presents a great opportunity to deliver our message to more members of the law enforcement community.”
Police1 will create and host a section dedicated to the SWAT Series, featuring a complete set of information and resources about the events. The section will provide Police1 members with the opportunity to register to compete in future SWAT series events.
In return, Police1 will receive consistent marketing exposure at all OnTarget events, including banners to be displayed during the televised Original SWAT World Challenge.
The SWAT Series begins April 25-28 at Camp Robinson in Little Rock, AR. The full event schedule can be found at http://www.swatseries.com/.
