2011年8月19日 · Handguns are quite different, in that most teams carry what their agency issues. So if one agency issue a GLOCK 9mm, then their SWAT guys typically carry that. Some agencies are different, however. LAPD SWAT still carry's 1911's (last I knew) and their road guys do not. Sniper rifles are most commonly .308's, but more and more are getting .50's.

NRA Life Member The police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.

2008年9月21日 · Yes our SWAT team is picky, but I would venture to guess so is any SWAT team in the country. The standards and tests to get in are very difficult and only a handful pass, male or female. Not true about "most candidates being ex-something special" military wise. I know a bunch of our SWAT guys that aren't ex-military, athough some others are.

2008年3月30日 · Based on the findings of the report, the LAPD has just instituted a new selection process for SWAT, according to a SWAT veteran who helped in the redesign. Instead of picking cops on the basis of their ability to handle weapons and stress, the new standards specifically exclude video-based shooting simulator evaluations and "Hogan's Alley," a ...

SWAT was established for a similar purpose of raising the standards of our ranks by training selected leaders. I would love for all officers to accept the challenge of excellence that has so long been a hallmark of SWAT. To have a police force--the first defenders of our soil--for all to envy.

11:00 -14:00 lunch, followed by workout in SWAT ONLY weightroom 1400-1430 shower, re-gel hair. 14:30-17:00 cruise the mean streets of the city, ostensibly to work radar, but msotly just cruising around, taking time to "Adam-69 with other members behind the shopping center.

2008年12月21日 · I think that a tactical unit such as SWAT should have its main focus on just that, SWAT related duties. I will say that our unit (full time) also does more than our fair share of search and rescue. Since rappelling, man-tracking, waterborne etc are a part of our normal training, we can and do pull rescue type of assignments.

2003年8月26日 · The 'obsession with SWAT' isn't limited to those who aren't already in LE, but also includes many department heads and administrators. IMO, there are too many SWAT teams in the USA. I don't see the reasoning behind small departments having SWAT teams when they can barely afford to pay their officers a living wage and give them dewcent equipment.

2011年12月16日 · SWAT officers don't retire, then just keep falling back to the back of the stack. ^^EXACTLY^^ While my days of working in a tactical role are long past; if my knee and ankle cooperated and I had an opportunity I would go right back.
