FALFURRIAS, Texas — From July 29th to July 31st, the Fort Brown Station, in collaboration with Brownsville Station and Office of Field Operation  Explorer Programs hosted the Third Annual S.W.A.T. Camp near Falfurrias, Texas.

During the S.W.A.T. Camp, Explorers from the integrated agencies were able to have an opportunity to train in a unique environment with agents and officers to assist. The Explorers were able to receive training in defense tactics, bounding, arrest techniques, and other law enforcement skills. The Explorers were also able to complete an obstacle (confidence) course, a team building course and on their final day rock climbing and rappel off a tower.

Despite being from different post and agencies, the Explorers found that bonding with one another was their favorite part from the experience. A special thanks to the Louse & Allen Foundation for providing the training facility.
