Greenville Police Department’s tactical team and Safe Harbor, the Children’s Advocacy Center, are planning a Steel Challenge Pistol Competition as a joint fundraiser.

Lt. Justin Lovvorn, Special Response Team leader, said law enforcement from both inside and around Butler County will be invited to participate in the competition. He said the event will be open to the public and will be held at the GPD’s firing range on U.S. 31.
