SWAT


Do you know what is mean by word SWAT? I think some people know and some not. For your information, SWAT is a Special Weapons And Tactics. SWAT is an elite special operations tactical unit in American police departments, similar to the Taiwan Thunder Squad, Australia's Police tactical Groups like South Australian STAR Force (Special Tasks and Rescue), and London's C019. It is trained to perform high-risk operations that fall outside of the abilities of regular patrol officers, including serving high-risk arrest warrants, hostage rescue, counter-terrorism, and engaging heavily-armed criminals. SWAT teams are often equipped with specialized firearms including assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, carbines, riot control agents, stun grenades, and high-powered rifles for snipers. They have specialized equipment including heavy body armor, entry tools, armored vehicles, advanced night vision optics, and motion detectors. In malaysia, the special team like SWAT is Unit Tindakan Khas (UTK).
