Before the ASP was formed, SWAT training throughout the state was similar, but not consistent. Teams had difficulty training together, much less working on tactical problems together, due to differences in training theory, techniques, and application. The Association of SWAT Personnel formed in an effort to bring continuity and consistency in training to tactical teams in the state. Today, over 1200 members can take advantage of: 1. Organized training opportunities for tactical teams all over the state 2. Training at a minimal cost to each agency 3. Programs that bridge the agency gap with commonality 4. Opportunities for custom training For more information visit the ASP-Wisconsin site here

The association believes effective narcotics enforcement is predicated on establishing viable lines of communication and coordination of efforts among drug law enforcement entities. We strive to provide narcotics enforcement personnel with training appropriate to their mission. To this end, we hold statewide training sessions each year, which in the past, have included subjects such as the Erosion Process and Police Corruption, Courtroom Survival Techniques, Developing and Handling Informants, Undercover Operations, and Clandestine Laboratories.
