S.W.A.T 2005

The GPD Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) responds to high-risk situations that require special training, weaponry, and tactics that are beyond the capabilities of standard police resources. The availability of a highly trained tactical team has been shown to substantially reduce the risk of injury or loss of life to citizens, the police, and suspects.

SWAT works closely with the Negotiation Response Team (NRT) in order to assist the Incident Commander at a particular scene in working toward a successful negotiated resolution.
 

The GPD's Special Weapons and Tactics Team is a critical Department resource in the handling of unusual occurrences.
