F
or more than 20 years the TTPOA has
provided affordable and standardized tactical training resources for police officers.
Through the annual conference and competition, magazine and website, the association has
created a forum for the free exchange of information, ideas and tactics, encouraging
communication and mutual support among law
enforcement agencies across the globe.
This non-profit organization is run by an elected
board, consisting of members from Texas tactical teams who volunteer their time and talents.
It has grown from an obscure group of a few
dozen, to a dynamic organization of over 2000
members. Command magazine has been the
communication tool for the association since
1992, and is currently distributed to membership
in 34 states and 7 foreign countries.
Command is, for the most part, designed, edited and written by full-time police officers who
are members of SWAT units in Texas, and who
volunteer their time to produce the publication.
The current editor is Bryan Whoolery from the
Travis County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team.
We have accomplished some things in Texas
that give us great pride, but we still have work to
do. As a manufacturer or distributor we invite
you to take part in our efforts to promote a lifesaving concept through training and education.
Command actively seeks articles that would be
of interest to our membership. We encourage
manufacturers and dealers to submit articles to the magazine
describing the testing and evaluation of new equipment for tactical
operations, particularly when the
test has been conducted by a
Texas law enforcement agency. In
addition, we can arrange for active
duty SWAT officers to test and prepare product evaluation articles for
SWAT equipment and/or products.
We are aware that many of the
companies offering SWAT related
products and training are staffed
by current and former SWAT and
military special operations personnel. We will gladly accept articles
submitted by those individuals for
review and possible publication.
