two-wing, multi-level, abandonded retirement home that has been used by
several law enforcement and fire departments for training in the past.

The Forest Park Police Department and Special Response Team will also
again participate in the event, using it as a training opportunity and a
unique way to familiarize themselves with Airsoft related equipment. “We
are excited to be working again with the Forest Park Police Department on
another Airsoft charity event to bring Law Enforcement closer to the
Airsoft community”, said Justin Brown Event Organizer for Summit Lake
Entertainment, “And we look forward to meeting several new Law Enforcement
agencies that are coming to check out Airsoft as a training tool”.

The “CODENAME: Asylum” Airsoft CQB event will give participants the
opportunity to play in a very unique environment and assist the Police
Department in their training. Participants will be divided into several
groups and go through several different scenarios throughout the day,
including a hostage situation, a terrorist group with WMDs, a worker gone
postal, and regaining the building from terrorists to name a few. The
Forest Park SRT will face off against the participants on one of the
scenarios, while uniformed patrol officers will train on Felony Car-Stops,
with the airsoft participants playing the role of the bad-guys. “Our
officers learned a lot from the last charity event and look forward to the
realistic training opportunity,” comments Eric Bell, training Officer for
the Forest Park Police Department. Summit Lake Entertainment will again be
filming this event for a future Airsoft video project to be announced.
