Sarasota SWAT, K-9 teams train with county SWAT in rural operations

On Friday, the Sarasota Police Department SWAT and K-9 teams partnered with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office SWAT for a day of rural operations training, including coordination with the helicopter.

"This kind of training matters because emergencies don’t follow city limits. Practicing together helps ensure a faster, safer and more coordinated response, whether an incident happens downtown or in more remote areas of our county. Our partnership is crucial."

"Prepared today. Ready for tomorrow." 💪🚓
