Congratulations to Rob Brown and Paul Snider for completing the extremely challenging SWAT program through the Polk County Sheriff's Office.  Paramedics from Polk County Fire Rescue currently serve on the SWAT team to provide critical life saving skills under very adverse conditions.  The SWAT Medics on the team complete the exact same training as the law enforcement officers and meet the same eligibility requirements.  Polk County Fire Rescue is proud to be associated with PCSO in this and other programs.  Please join us in congratulating these gentlemen on their accomplishment.
