2012 Chandler Tactical Competition

Another Chandler Tactical Competition has come and gone. It seems like so much time, effort and anticipation go into this event for all of us; and then it is over in a flash. We hope all who participated had a great time and we look forward to hosting as many of you as possible back next year. A big thanks to Hilton, our host hotel, for doing such a great job in making registration run smoothly and hosting so many of our guests. We would also like to thank the other hotels who graciously offered special rates for this year's events. Believe it or not, we are already planning for next year. See you in 2013!


Every year is a little better, and in some ways bigger then the year before. A guaranteed return this year was the Geo Tactical Pursuit. Below is a list of 2012's events, but dont count on every one of them being here in 2013. Were always adding, changing or retiring events to keep things exciting. Sometimes, old events come out of retirement too.... Check back regularly for updates on 2013 registration. Pre-Registration will begin in September and we will be limited to 50 agencies. Additional registration packets will be availabile for download in October with final registration and payment due in early December.

Competition History

The Chandler Arizona Tactical Competition held its first competition in 1998 at Folley Park. The Competition included many of the events that are offered today, including the HRT events, Negotiations, an Obstacle Course, Firearms and so on. In an effort to bring back competitors, events are changed, updated and in many cases more events are added to continually grow the event. Infact, the growth of the event forced the move from Folley Park to the Chandler Fire Department Training Facility in south Chandler. The greater size and gracious hospitality of the Chandler Fire Department allowed us to bring some events at remote locations together at one place. It also allowed us to accept more Posts as popularity of our competition grew. That being said, our Post and this competition would not have grown to what it is today without the support of all the empolyees of the Chandler Police Department. It is important to mention that many officers volunteer and move their schedules around to support us in hosting this competition. We hope you can make it this coming year!
