MOUNTAIN STATES SWAT TRAINING & COMPETITION
THE NEXT MSSTC EVENT WILL BE IN AUGUST 2026! MORE DETAILS COMING SOON!
In 2014 the Mountain States SWAT Training & Competition (MSSTC) was born out of necessity when staff at Curtis Blue Line and local law enforcement agencies recognized a gap in training options. It had been over a decade since the western region of the United States offered a team-based SWAT training that could accommodate agencies and budgets of all sizes. With the collective efforts of prior and active SWAT team leaders and certified training staff, the first Mountain States SWAT Training & Competition took place in August of 2015 with teams from the surrounding region and has been growing each year since.
MSSTC is a stand-alone event today with proceeds supporting the Utah 1033 Foundation. Curtis Blue Line continues to support the event as the title sponsor.
THE TRAINING
MSSTC utilizes team-based training in real world scenarios and focuses on the critical skills training that most agencies would typically cover in a given year. The training encompasses both live fire and non-lethal training ammunition scenarios which allows teams to evaluate their training effectiveness and identify training points to focus on in the coming year. The competition is secondary to the training but plays on the competitive nature of individuals to engage them further for the best training possible.
The training doesn’t teach or promote a certain tactic, rather tests the tactics that each department has in place for different situations. Teams are given event evaluations to take back and reference for future training.
This event is organized and staffed by active or retired law enforcement and military subject matter experts in their various specialties.
