Where precision meets pressure at the 2025 National SWAT Championship at Staccato Vegas

A photo essay from the multi-day competition in Nevada that brought together elite law enforcement teams to test tactical skill, teamwork and precision while supporting Fallen Blue

Held October 22–26 at Staccato Vegas in Pahrump, Nevada, the second annual National SWAT Championship presented by Staccato 2011 and Trijicon brought together more than 40 elite law enforcement teams from across the country for a demanding, multi-stage test of shooting proficiency, tactical acumen and operational cohesion.

Beyond the competition, the event supported Fallen Blue, a nonprofit dedicated to assisting the families of officers killed in the line of duty. “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.”

These images capture moments from the championship, where the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office finished first overall and the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office placed second.
