 | | SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics; originally Special Weapons Assault Team) is a specialized paramilitary police unit in many United States police departments, which is trained to perform dangerous operations. |
 | | The officers will be briefed on the mission: the kind of mission (such as warrant service, arresting a suspect, hostage rescue, or barricaded subjects), the physical layout of the target (the architecture of any buildings involved, for example), any available intelligence on the target, and the actual tactical plan to be used. |
 | | SWAT teams are equipped with specialized firearms including submachine guns, carbines, tear gas, concussion grenades, and high-powered rifles for marksmen (snipers). |
