Breakfast at Tiffany's / Lunch at Elmer's... Same Difference

Just got back from a lengthy working lunch with Lt. Martin Rowley of the Portland Police Bureau. Lt. Rowley has more than two decades of police and SWAT experience, including four years as the assistant SERT (Special Emergency Reaction Team) Team Leader, six more as Team Leader, and now acts - among other things - as a SWAT trainer. He was not only very informative and helpful, but a darn nice guy to boot. His help will definitely lend an edge of realism to GURPS SWAT that would otherwise not have been there.

Not going to go into details here - probably not many people care to hear them anyway - but know that when you read the Tactics chapter in SWAT, a lot of the accuracy and polish will be thanks to Lt. Rowley. :)
