The SWAT team at the Bruce nuclear generating station in Tiverton is among the best in the world.
The Bruce Power team won the U-S National SWAT championships in Colorado last week — beating out 29 other teams from four countries.
Bruce SWAT Team Leader Greg Simmons says they won three of the eight events that tested physical fitness and marksmanship.
It’s the first time a Canadian tactical team has won a championship in international SWAT competition.
Simmons says it’s a great win for the 8 member team because they are committed to the work and each share a strong work ethic.
The team protects the perimeter of the Bruce nuclear site on a daily basis.

The Bruce SWAT team will also compete at the Security Protection Officer Training competition in New Mexico next week.
They are the defending champs in the Law Enforcement category.
Simmons adds these competitions are great because it allows them to set a benchmark against other international teams.
