Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger will make opening remarks at the 
7th Annual National Capital Region SWAT Association Tactical Competition.

The National Capital Region SWAT Association is comprised of more than 30 
agencies in the National Capital Region.  It includes federal, state, and 
local agencies and was created in 2005 to facilitate mutual aid among SWAT 
teams in the region.  One of the main functions of the association is to 
provide training resources and dissemination of tactical knowledge and 
experience to member agencies.  This association also provides critical 
incident protocols for multi-agency responses to large scale operations in 
the DC area.

This year's event will also serve as a fundraiser and raffle for the Jason 
Schneider Memorial Fund.  Jason was a Baltimore County SWAT officer who was 
shot and killed on August 28, 2013 during a high risk search warrant in 
Catonsville, Maryland.

Members of the media are encouraged to cover this event during the hours 
listed above.  Tactical officers will be available for interviews and 
limited opportunities for filming and photography will be allowed.  Advance 
authorization is required.  Please contact the Media Services/Public 
Information Office at 240-773-5030.

Please call the Police Public Information Office with questions.
