SWAT
The Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team is comprised of many well-trained
police officers with the mission to save lives. Their training is based on
saving the lives of the citizens in our community whose security is threatened
and the lives of law enforcement personnel who become faced with unusually
hazardous situations. The team trains regularly in an effort to perfect their
weapons skills, their tactics to resolve the high hazard incidents, and their
physical fitness level. SWAT deployment situations include, but are not limited
to the following:
- High hazard search and arrest warrants
- Barricaded suspects
- Hostage situations
- Dignitary protection
- Any mission requiring a tactical team effort including organized searches for subjects involved in criminal activity.
