Looking for ways to provide \u201cas much training as possible\u201d for the group, Captain David Roddy, Special Operations Division, Chattanooga Police Department, said the group is always looking to spend \u201cmore time in different kinds of structures.\u201d That includes schools, hospitals, universities and residential structures.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to thank the University for allowing us to use this building,\u201d Roddy said. \u201cIt\u2019s also helpful for us to become familiar with the architecture of this older structure, which is similar to other buildings on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2005 and 2007, the Chattanooga Police SWAT Team earned top honors in the National Swat Team Challenge, beating teams from Chicago and Orlando. Unfortunately, Roddy said the team has not been able to participate in recent years due to scheduling conflicts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
