Scott Reitz Joins Team S.W.A.T.

Denny Hansen · August 17, 2004, 06:49 PM

Starting with the December issue, Scott Reitz will be writing a monthly column for S.W.A.T. titled Frontline Debriefs.

Scott is the lead instructor for International Tactical Training Seminars (ITTS). A 28-year veteran of LAPD, Scott has spent twenty-three years in the elite Metropolitan Division. He is a member of Metro's “D” platoon (commonly known as SWAT). In short, like all of our staff, he's a real-deal, been-there-done-that kind of guy.

Please forgive me for chest-thumping a little, but once again we've raised the bar for the competition.

Sounds like a good addition to the team, Denny. Please tell Scott that I look forward to reading his articles.

So will I.

Say, Hey, for me, too. I have to say that the more I read other magazines, the more I look forward to the next issue of SWAT. I really appreciate the fact that you guys keep the articles together instead of making the reader jump around a half-dozen times.

You have, indeed, raised the bar, again. The only problem is that the competition didn't look to be trying to get over the previous setting.

Now, if you could just get Ichiro to take some pics for ya!

Vaughn-
We actually came closer than you think. Ichi's otherwise "engaged". We snagged his son, who has done a fair amount of work for us.

Me? I'd like to claim the best of both worlds...Editorial AND Photography. I've settled for the former as priority. Think we're done?

Congratulations on another great columnist; it will make SWAT even stronger.

Richard, did they give you a big belt or trophy when they named you the Mac Daddie of the Year? You are sooooo much the man!!

Looking forward to future years of great work.
