Always Training - Always Prepared!
02/24/2021
Today the Cheyenne County SWAT team (consisting of members from the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office, the Sidney Police Department, and the Deuel County Sheriff's Office) conducted chemical munitions training. The training consisted of 2.5 hours of classroom training ranging across history, physiological/psychological effects, safety, decontamination, deployment considerations, and legal ramifications. The SWAT team was then exposed to various chemical agents to train in quickly donning chemical filtration devices and to experience the different physiological/psychological effects of the chemicals in an effort to increase the mental fortitude necessary to operate effectively and safely in these conditions.
