Mountain States SWAT Training and Competition: Aug 11-13, 2026 | Spanish Fork

Date: Tuesday thru Thursday, Aug 11-13, 2026
Time: 8:00pm on Tues - 9:00pm on Thurs
Location: Thistle Gun Range, Spanish Fork, UT

This event is hosted by The Utah County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Utah Police Tactical Association, the Utah 1033 Foundation, and Curtis Blue Line in various locations in Utah over a three day period.

A premier training event and competition, Mountain States SWAT Training & Competition (MSSTC) includes over 48 hours of live fire courses, non-lethal scenarios, obstacle courses, and more. Up to 24 teams from all over the United States will compete for prizes and bragging rights.

Mountain States SWAT Training and Competition (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 and is not open to the general public.
