VERNON COUNTY, Mo – The Vernon County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team has transitioned to new training standards. Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher says, members of the Special Response Team were recently retested with the new higher standards, with members surpassing the minimum requirements.
The new training standards include, physical fitness, one mile run, disassembling and reassembling their firearm, as well as shooting in full gear while moving from cover to cover, and shooting from various positions.
The Special Response Team was formed last year to receive advanced tactical training and practice, on responding to armed suspects, hostage situations, and serving high risk warrants.
Sheriff Mosher says, the formation of the team had one main purpose, to better protect life during life threatening events. Each member of the team attended the Joplin Police Department SWAT School last year.
