During the dates of October 15 through October 18, 2026, the Alama Area Metropolitan SWAT Team took part in the 2026 TTPOA SWAT Competition.  Through a variety of nine SWAT-related events, such as hostage rescue, an obstacle course, and tactical shooting, the AAMSWAT Team placed 18th overall out of 44 competing teams.  The AAMSWAT members beat out teams such as the DEA/Dallas SRT Team and the Travis County Sheriff's Office SWAT Team.  Members of the select team took part in a months-long training regiment to prepare for the event and Officer Aldo Lara dedicated himself every week for the success of the team.
