	Encyclopedia: SWAT
		The first SWAT unit was created in the city of Delano, California, in the 1960s in response to the farmworker uprisings led by the then-new UFW headed by Cesar Chavez.
		The cause of the fire is officially unknown, although police sources speculated that an errant round ignited one of the suspect's molotov cocktails.
		This kind of police unit quickly became well known with the premiere of the short-lived but notorious television series S.W.A.T. in the 1970s, which was panned as being overly violent and unrealistic with the characters regularly undergoing missions that usually happen only once in a lifetime for actual teams.

		The police commander in charge of the Kenmore Square area, including Fenway Park, when a 21-year-old college student was shot and killed was one of four officers who fired pepper pellets into the raucous crowds celebrating the Red Sox American League pennant victory, according to two people familiar with the investigation of the shootings.
		Kathleen O'Toole, who is not related to the special operations commander, declined to comment yesterday about Robert O'Toole's role in dispersing crowds, saying she would not discuss the department's investigation until it is complete in one or two months.
		Robert O'Toole was also commander of special operations during the 1986 World Series and was overseeing security at Fenway Park when a television news crew filmed him as he slapped a handcuffed prisoner.

	Boston.com / News / Local / Police unit rocked by transfers after Snelgrove death
		The elite police unit whose forceful response to a riotous celebration outside Fenway Park last October killed 21-year-old Victoria Snelgrove and injured two other fans has since replaced a quarter of its officers, including the entire command staff, as fallout from the shootings continues to rock the Boston Police Department.
		He was put on desk duty after the shootings, and when it became apparent that the investigations would take months, Commissioner O'Toole said she decided to remove him from command of special operations, which includes the mobile operations unit, in February and transfer him to headquarters.
		Turnover in the unit is rare, police officials said, because of the highly specialized training of the officers.
