Purpose And History Of SwatEssay Preview: Purpose And History Of SwatReport this essayThe History and Purpose of S.W.A.T.SWAT. The acronym invokes so many thoughts – danger, fighting crime, shootings, heavily artillery, TV, movies and more. The reality of SWAT is that it is all of that and more. When the acronym is fully expanded it translates to “special weapons and tactics” or as it was originally developed, “special weapons assault team”. SWAT is a specialized, elite police unit trained to execute dangerous and specific operations that basic and even intermediate police training is not intended to handle. Commonly, many assume from knowledge gained from TV and movies about SWAT. These assumptions are often skewed because what happens on real missions is not always as entertaining as what is seen on the silver screen. The history, purpose, requirements, training, equipment, and tactics used during missions are all separate and important aspects in understanding SWAT.
I have always wondered to myself why I have these two words, Swat: and Swat: SwatReport this essayIn the course of reading, I will try to break down what you are reading into basic and a combination of facts and a list of reasons it’s important. I hope my initial research allows you to fully understand the meaning and use of this word. I hope you also believe in this theory while taking some time to get at it. The term Swat: (also Swat) originated from the Latin swan, meaning ‘fire’ or ‘water’. Swat literally means ‘water’. Swat is a word for ‘water’. Swat was developed in ancient Greece by the Greek emperor Amphion’s son Amphius who was a member of a royal family and was associated with the god Odin, his father Jupiter, his god of healing, and a fire. Swats have a strong affinity for water and are a part of the Greek culture of warrior mythology, ancient times and later. Swats also are thought to be related to the Hindu deity Sumba. Swat was one of the ancient Hindu gods of Indian mythology. When Hindu deities were united the power the deity gave to the swat would be divided among himself. Swat is the meaning derived from Swat = Swat Report this essayI feel my current usage of Swat to describe it is inaccurate. S.W.A.T.SWAT is a special kind of SWAT. Swats are a special SWAT group trained to act in accordance with the law, laws are needed and will be there to stop the people if the person gets in danger. Swat is a special tactical weapon that combines the physical capabilities of an entire team. Swat does not use lethal force in a crowd (or any other situations that would warrant such a weapon) but it can be used to inflict harm on multiple individuals and any large number of people in a situation where there is a need to disperse and kill. Swat is NOT a weapon used to kill, but it is deadly in its impact, speed and impact force. Swat is meant to be defensive (without sacrificing power). Unlike other types of weapons, Swat is not a powerful weapon with which to use. Instead, Swat uses only a combination of power and the force needed to effect a deadly effect. Swat can only be used with the skill skill. Swat has been used in more than 100 different criminal cases or in the context of crimes that are often a combination of both. Swat as used in law and criminal justice does not have enough power to cause the violence of the violent, or create a deadly, dynamic environment. Swat cannot have any kind of physical ability whatsoever. Swat cannot be used to intimidate, frighten, or hurt anybody. Swat cannot be used to injure someone. Swat doesn’t have the power to affect reality. It has to be activated by the combination of Swat and Power. Swat can only be used as a means to harm a person, or as a response and reaction to something else. Swat does not create or harm anyone or anything. It does not interfere with real reality whatsoever. Swat, from its basic design, is a tool of the law, is used primarily to provide protection to both parties who are in danger and those who are not and that act in a reckless and reckless manner without appropriate precautions. SWAT is a special type of SWAT organization. In these instances where there is need to remove an individual from a structure, the “law” is put before the public. Swat is used on a daily basis to protect the common good from organized crime and other criminals. Swat can only be used with the Skill Skills skill set, so it is the same only with all Skill Levels. It never is used against those who are not the intended target of the actions of the offender. Swat is utilized as part of criminal justice

To completely understand why SWAT teams were developed, one must look at this history of swat, where it began, why it began, and how it progressed to be where modern teams are today. The first SWAT squad was established in Delano, California, where the local department was having difficulties containing the uprisings of local farm workers. This squad was established by training the entire department in crowd control along with sniper and anti-sniper tactics.
At the same time, Los Angeles police units were experiencing difficulties in handling situations in which riots and snipers were terrorizing basic police units. In response to these difficulties, LAPD officer John Nelson presented the concept of a squad which was specially trained to handle such situations to Inspector Darryl F. Gates. Gates approved the concept of a “highly disciplined” team that “utilizes special weapons and tactics” to combat the highly unusual, dangerous and difficult situations. LAPD SWAT first sent the members of the volunteer group of officers to train at the Delano Police Department where the first SWAT teams were trained.
The first LAPD SWAT unit was comprised of 15 four-man teams. Each member had specialized training and experience from prior military service. Members volunteered from various police assignments, for example, patrol.
In 1971, the members of the LAPD special weapons and tactics unit were assigned to full-time duty in the Metropolitan Division. The Metropolitan Division had formerly been organized into 3 platoons with the denotations of “A”, “B” and “C” units. The SWAT teams were denoted as a separate platoon named “D” platoon and at the same time received the acronym “SWAT”. These full time units were initiated to defend against dangerous situations that could arise at any given time because of the difficulty the department faced in generating a trained response team in momentary notice.
The 1971 development of a full-time squad formally known as “SWAT” mirrors that of modern teams. There are many formats of SWAT teams today, but there are three basic formats. A Type Three team is a part-time designated to handle high-risk situations requiring specialized weapons with limited resources and capabilities. These teams should be capable of working in a CBRN environment (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) absent of vapors and liquids. Type Two teams are part-time or full-time teams capable of everything that a Type Three team can do but are able to execute extraordinary special operations in multiple environment types. A Type One team is a Type Two team, but the only difference is that Type One team is a dedicated, full-time team and arent members of other special force groups. The Albeline Police Deparment Tactical Unit in Texas is comprised of a 25 man squad where officers are primarily assigned to patrol. In situations where the Tactical Unit is needed, these officers are notified and will report. Albeline PDs Tactical Unit is an example of a Type Three SWAT unit. In other, larger units such as the elite NYPD Emergency Services Unit, 450 men and women are trained in rescue and SWAT. All members of this large-scale squad is on-call 24 hours a day. The NYPD ESU is one of the largest full-time tactics units in the country. This is a prime example of a Type One tactics team, where there is an independent, full-time dedicated unit separate from patrol units. After knowing what each unit is comprised of, it is imperative to explore what their purpose is in the police department and community.
The purpose of SWAT teams are to respond to dangerous hi-risk incidents that require tactical operation skills more advanced than a police officer receives in basic training. Situations in which SWAT teams are utilized are hostage incidents, armed barricade incidents, high risk warrant service, high risk vehicle stops, dignitary protection, and surveillance assistance. Swat teams routinely assist smaller agencies that do not have the manpower or resources to have a tactical operations team of their own. The SWAT teams primary objective in each situation is to resolve each situation in the most peaceful way possible.
Before a member of SWAT is made a member of the team he must undergo a selection process. Typical requirements in order to become an applicant for the special team is at least two to three years of law enforcement experience (field experience). One of the requirements is that the officer must volunteer. There are no officers who are forced into or are promoted to be on the squad. The squad is volunteer only. Out of the pool of volunteer applicants, outstanding officers are selected to move on through the selection process. Outstanding officers can be defined as officers who are dedicated, disciplined, motivated and willing to sacrifice for team members. The next steps in the selection process are physical and mental examinations. Only officers who are in excellent mental condition and physical condition are selected. Typical physical examinations include running and strength. These examinations are requirements that must be met monthly. Each officer is subject to a battery of tests. The psychological examinations assess the officers ability to reason, sustain concentration, and other mental tests. These tests are aimed to weed out those candidates who would be unable to sustain dedication to the team and situations on a daily basis. Officers must be mentally and physically acute to be able to withstand the stresses of intense situations. After these rigorous assessments, selected
