Alamogordo – Members of the 49th Security Forces Squadron had a chance to fine-tune their law enforcement techniques during two days of training with the FBI's Albuquerque division.
Agents from an FBI SWAT team worked with Holloman defenders, practicing close-quarters battle, breaching techniques and ballistic shield work.
Training coordinator Rich Price says to goal was to build partnerships involving the military, local-level law enforcement and the FBI.
Airmen from the 49th SFS Quick Reaction Force at Holloman and off-duty patrolmen were decked out in full protective gear last week as they practiced law enforcement techniques in a large building on the northeast side of the base near Alamogordo.
An operations officer, Lt. Patrick Clark, says the lessons learned will help teams police the base.
