The Special Unit of the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Internal Affairs is currently in second place at the international competition for special police units, “SWAT Round-Up International,” held in Orlando, Florida, according to results posted on the organizer’s official website.
The Sarajevo team – listed as “Sarajevo SWAT” – has 192 points. They trail only the host team, the Orlando Police Special Unit (Orlando SWAT), which has 205 points, while the team from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office sits in third place with 190 points.
The Sarajevo special unit is 13 points behind the leader and holds a narrow two-point lead over the third-place team, meaning the battle for a spot on the podium remains wide open. The final standings will be determined following the last event.
SWAT Round-Up International is one of the most renowned competitions for special police units, bringing together SWAT and ERT (Emergency Response Team) units from the United States and various other countries.
Teams compete in events that simulate real-world operational scenarios – ranging from precision shooting and dynamic movement to rapid decision-making under pressure and coordinated team action.
In addition to the competitive events, the program includes training sessions and courses led by instructors, allowing unit members from different nations to exchange knowledge and experience.
This is not the first major achievement for the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Special Unit in Florida. Last year, they secured second place among 45 teams from around the globe – a historic success for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the time.
