Happy Easter from the Association of SWAT Personnel – Wisconsin

On this Easter Sunday, we pause to reflect on renewal, hope, and the strength of community.

To all of our SWAT operators, law enforcement partners, and families across Wisconsin—thank you for your continued dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting others. Your professionalism and readiness, day in and day out, do not go unnoticed.

Today, we hope you find time to enjoy the moments that matter most—whether that’s with family, friends, or simply taking a well-earned pause.

Because of you, our communities remain safer, stronger, and more resilient.

Stay safe. Stay ready. Stay sharp.

Are your SWAT teams utilizing Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS)? If so, how may of them have access to blood products in the event of a casualty? I had an instructor years ago that said, “The body needs blood, not pasta water”.

North American Rescue

It’s not magic, it’s physiology! If a victim looses blood, they need blood put back into them ASAP if they are going to have a positive outcome. This is exactly why we’ve partnered with THOR - Trauma Hemostasis & Oxygenation Research Network - think prehospital blood transfusion ninja gurus - to offer a 3 day course at our Las Vegas training location for EMS professionals; to teach you all the history, physiology, blood components and the administrative requirements of blood logistics, so you can help champion and start you own program!
Course Dates: May 6–8, 2026

in your community in a big way - a prehospital blood program is an absolute game changer for your patients!!!

Congratulations to this year’s awards recipients! It was an honor to recognize the S.W.A.T. Teams of the year for 2025: the Langlade County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team, The Marathon County Sheriff’s Office Special Weapons and Tactics Team, and the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team. We commend these teams for their outstanding collaboration to resolve a domestic disturbance where two children hostages were safely rescued, and a suspect was dislodged from his barricaded position. Great job and congratulations!

We also congratulate this year’s recipient of the Paul W. Roemer Award, Capt. Michael Anderson of the Chenequa Police Department. The Roemer award recognizes members of the association who have demonstrated outstanding dedication and leadership in promoting the principles of Special Weapons and Tactics in their own departments and for the association as a whole. Congratulations Capt. Anderson on being the 23rd Recipient of the Paul W. Roemer Award!
