ON THE JOB NEWS DISCIPLINE RANGEMASTER JUST HANDED DOWN MISSION CRITICAL SYSTEMS 5.11 Tactical's Sweden Entry Tools Multiple-tool breaching kits for patrol officers and for tactical teams By Brad Slaughter Brad Slaughter has worked at the Denton County Sheriff's Offce for 17 years. He has been on the SWAT team for eight years, and he is one of three Breachers, trained in Explosive, Mechanical, Thermal and Ballistic Breaching. He can be reached at robert. slaughter@dentoncounty.com. 5.11 Tactical has answered the needs of the patrol offcers when it comes to breaching doors, windows or whatever you need opened to solve the incident. The 5.11 Breaching System includes their new line of breaching tools. This Breaching System was jointly developed by Adam Lazar, the 5.11 Tactical product development manager, Tim Terry, 5.11 Tactical US lead breacher, and two team members from a Swedish Hostage Rescue Team (HRT). Lars Ingesson has been the lead Breacher and Instructor on the full-time Swedish HRT team since 1998. A respected trainer in all forms of breaching, from mechanical, hydraulic to explosive, Lars has trained many of the best known tactical teams in Europe. Patrik Gustavsson is a former HRT team leader with a background as an engineer. The two developed Sweden Entry Tools (SET) after fnding their current tools weren't up to the task of breaching high-level security doors. By combining Patrik's knowledge as an engineer with Lars' experience in breaching techniques, S.E.T. has perfected a faster, safer and more effective mechanical breaching system, available through 5.11 Tactical. 12 LAW and ORDER I June 2013 The Heavy Breaching Kit contains the MultiBreacher, MiniRam, MultiPry and EdgeBender.
