State Level TeamWorks Project

Hi all! Would any states be willing to share a past blueprint for TeamWorks used at the state level? It's been tough to condense the one provided for NLSC down to a single day competition, so I would appreciate any resources or tips other states have to share.

Tactical Response Team Competition

Just curious if any other states are holding a State-Only Tactical Response Team Competition as one of their Law & Public Safety Events? Kentucky started one last year and I was wondering if it was gaining any traction across the country.


I have attached our technical standards if anyone want to see it.

Mechatronics

I have a couple of groups that want to compete in mechatronics. If your state runs this competition can you please share as much as possible?


What should those chapters purchase and what should I purchase to run this competition?
