FLORENCE, Texas –– Staccato 2011®, the creator of the 2011® pistol platform and a leading developer of precision firearms, ammunition, and shooting facilities, today announced that a limited number of registration spots remain open for the 2026 Staccato National SWAT Championship taking place Sept. 25–27, 2026. Presented by Trijicon® and taking place at Staccato Ranch Vegas, the event will bring together the nation's most elite law enforcement teams for three days of competition, with proceeds benefiting Fallen Blue.
Fewer than 15 spots remain in the 60-team competition, with a $150,000 prize pool on the line. The top five teams will take home cash prizes, and the champion will earn $50,000 to fund the team's ongoing equipment and training needs. Additionally, every competitor will walk away with gear from the $50,000-plus prize table.
The competition is a rigorous assessment of SWAT teams' shooting proficiency, physical agility and tactical acumen. Each five-person team, consisting of four primary competitors and one alternate, must be comprised of full-time sworn personnel from a tactical operations unit. Teams will compete across twelve main stages and five individual side stages, with the event culminating in a four-stage, head-to-head championship finale.
Staccato Ranch Vegas will host the event at its Staccato Vegas Special Operations Training Campus (SVSOTC), a purpose-built, one-of-a-kind training destination set in the high desert just west of Las Vegas. The facility features immersive, configurable scenario zones that challenge decision-making, leadership, and tactical execution under pressure by blending live-action simulations, adaptive structures, and mission-driven coursework to deliver repeatable yet unpredictable experiences.
All proceeds from the championship will be directed to Fallen Blue, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the families of officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Fallen Blue will use 100% of the donations for direct grants that cover essential needs, including housing, transportation, medical expenses and education, for those who have lost a loved one in service.
Attendees can expect hands-on product showcases and demonstrations from sponsors throughout the event, including presenting sponsor Trijicon, 5.11 Tactical, Savior Equipment, Ace Virtual Shooting, Black Rifle Coffee Company, Crye Precision, Geissele, Lead Devil, Magpul, Mitchell Defense, PTR Industries, Safariland, Colonel Stogie, SureFire, Team Wendy, Truck Vault, and TYR Tactical.
