    Ranked 15th for overall standing so far. https://swat.dubaipolice.gov.ae/swat...inal&year=2022
    Kenya is beating us so far and it's weird that the U S of A only has one team from the NYPD and we are beating them so far. FYI we are 15th out of 33.

    The christmas killing grinch in me has to wonder whether this is an appropriate use of the resources available. Hope its not coming out of money that could be used for policing.

    If it keeps them happy and motivated and they get to see how others do stuff, I’m all for it.

    If you have done any competitive shooting you would know that sometimes you decide to shoot outside of your capability to push the gaming limit.
    I don't do much competitive shooting, but when i do, i know that pushing myself does complicate matters for and i will have misses........ but that is not my job

    This shouldn't be a game to them ...... they are there to show they are amongst the elite in the world. These guys shoot (or at least use to shoot) thousands of rounds a day to hone their skills because a miss for them is not an option. This is their job, when STF is called to a scene then most probably all else has failed and swift decisive action is needed by a unit that does not miss.

    But ....... maybe they went their thinking its only a game, who knows.

    Their is no risk of return fire and they are their to represent their country, if there is a way to game it and achieve a higher score, I don't see anyone country not taking that route.

    So we were almost second ... except we shagged the sheep... but otherwise we're all good.

    The cops have plenty money. So much so that they underspent their budget by 4 billion. More than the entire NPAs budget.
