Today, the theme, SWAT.
S.W.A.T, Special Weapons And Tactics, is an elite special operation tactical unit in USA police department.
USED
SWAT is trained to perform high-risk operations that fall outside of the abilities of regular officers, including serving high-risk arrest warrant, hostage rescue, counter-terrorism, and engaging heavily- armed criminals.
The first SWAT team was established in the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1960s. Since then, many American police departments, especially in major cities and at the federal and state-levels of government, have established their own elite units under various names; these units, despite their official name, are referred to collectively as SWAT units in colloquial usage.
Well, this is the
introduction of SWAT. SWAT seems cool. A lot of teenagers hope to become part of them. But it is not easy that you thinking, or looks smart like the picture. This is a high-risk and
discipline job. SWAT only matriculate the best guys.
Now, I show you their training.
SWAT officers are selected from volunteers within their law enforcement organization. Depending on the department's policy, officers generally have to serve a minimum tenure within the department before being able to apply for a specialist section such as SWAT. This tenure requirement is based on the fact that SWAT officers are still law enforcement officers and must have a thorough knowledge of department policies and procedures.
SWAT applicants undergo rigorous selection and training, similar to the training some special operations units in the military receive. Applicants must pass stringent physical agility, written, oral, and psychological testing to ensure they are not only fit enough but also psychologically suited for tactical operations.
Wow, it's really hard, right?
