"Hello, name is Nate Swierkosz and I am the owner of First Line Tactical LLC. I started my career in the Army in November of 2012, serving 6 years in an Infantry unit until November 2018. In 2017 I attended the Beaver County Police Academy, graduating in 2018 with my Pennsylvania Act 120 (Municipal Police Certification). During my service with the Army I qualified on, serviced, and conducted troop movements and training missions using various weapons systems, and methodology. Given the experience I gained while serving in the Army, it fit to also pursue Law Enforcement. I am currently and actively employed with the Ambridge Borough Police Department as a Patrolman, and Bridgewater Borough as a Patrolman. I am currently the Fi****ms Instructor conducting Police Yearly Qualifications, and in department training at Bridgewater Police Department. During my time as a Law Enforcement Officer I have worked generally in higher call volume areas, gaining useful experience in de escalation and avoidance techniques relating to crime prevention, practical medical response, dynamic use of force incident response, and various other useful skills pertaining to fi****ms safety and practical use. I have used the network of friends and co-workers I have met over the years and created First Line Tactical. I saw a need for compassionate, and battle tested instructors. We know it works, because we do it everyday. Come train with us, and join us on our journey!"
