The Police Crisis Squad, commonly referred to as SWAT, is a specialized unit of law enforcement officers trained to respond to high-risk situations such as hostage situations, barricaded suspects, and active shooters. SWAT teams are typically deployed in situations where the presence of a large number of officers is necessary to ensure public safety. They are also used to provide tactical support for other law enforcement operations. SWAT teams are highly trained and equipped with specialized weapons and tactics to handle dangerous situations.
