There is a lot of preparation that goes into staging this event.  The earlier I know how many teams we will have the better prepared I can be come match day.  No need to wait till the last minute to register, folks.  If you are sending a team to Anderson in October, fax me your registration form today!  Don’t worry about sending the money…that can wait if need be.  The important thing is that we get YOUR TEAM on the roster ASAP.  Remember, there are only 45 available slots and early registration guarantees that you are one of those!

Elite Operator Tactical, a new business owned and operated by an old friend of law enforcement, Fernando Coehlo, will be outfitting all of our match Safety Officers with tactical pants and shirts embroidered with our Thin Blue Line logo.  Fernando did this for our inaugural match in 2007.  His generous donation, valued at about $3000, makes him a Gold Sponsor of this event.  You can click on the sponsors link and check Elite Tactical Operator out!

Mike Fortune with Sig Arms called me Friday and told me that Sig will be donating a pistol for the Thin Blue Line!  Last year we raffled off the guns that were donated and raised a good deal of money for the charities and enabled 3 officers to get a great gun for a $2 raffle ticket!  I am so pleased that Sig is going to participate again this year. 

Remington is IN!  Don’t know at this point what they have planned for us but I am really glad that they are on board with us for this event. 

And the hits just keep coming…..!!

I just got back from 5 days in Oxford NC at the Carolina Cup IDPA Match.  While there I visited some of the vendors and came away loaded for bear!  Blackwater has generously agreed to be our Match Title Sponsor…yes, that Blackwater!  They are donating 2 three day classes at their facility in North Carolina.  The certificate is good for tuition, room and board, meals and all your ammo!  Two lucky officers will have the opportunity to go to Blackwater and train for 3 days with some of the best instructors in the world.  And - for an additional $300 that can be upgraded to a 5 day class!  The approximate value of the 3-day class is $1800.  Thanks, Blackwater, for your generous participation!

Stinger Systems has signed on as a Silver sponsor this year.  They will donate 2 Stinger S-200’s to the first place team in this year’s competition…that is a $1000 value!  The guns will be presented the day of the match!

Each team will select their own charity and funds will be sent to that charity, the amount determined by their order of finish in the match.  The TOP team’s charity will receive 1/3 of the total and the remaining team’s charities will each receive and equal share of the remaining 2/3 of the money available.  With this system all charities will benefit and all team’s can compete knowing that their charity will benefit from their participation in the Thin Blue Line.
