Big City PD has 5,000 sworn employees. Team #1 is from the Big City PD Runners Club. Runners come from all over the department. This team must run in the OPEN division (or MIXED, if there are at least three female runners.)
Team #2 is from Big City PD's SWAT Team. There are 200 people assigned to SWAT. If all runners are sworn peace officers, the team has a choice of the following: 250-SWORN, OPEN-SWORN, or OPEN.
The NPC-50 is open to all full-time employees of city, county, state, federal

All runners must be officially assigned as sworn law enforcement officers/agents
of the department/agency for which they are running on February 15, 2008, and
