Bravo Tango has played in numerous softball tournaments, including the local “Guns and Hoses” tournament involving police officers and firefighters, and the Las Vegas Police Games, in which Bravo Tango won a bronze medal in 2011.
Airport Police sworn and civilian employees interested in joining Team Bravo Tango are urged to sign up by contacting Officer Shane Young at (714) 401-3517 by e-mail at syoung2@lawa.org.
