The Holmes County SWAT Team performed a training exercise Friday, May 21, in Bonifay. 
This training is just the latest of several held annually covering different aspects of public safety and tactical practices.
Sheriff John Tate states he places a large emphasis on training because it makes the agency stronger as a whole. “We hope we never have to use this training, but if we do, we will be ready.”
