Police Department - Officers: S.W.A .T.

S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons and Tactics) is a team of officers specially trained and equipped to respond to and handle high risk criminal situations. This team is made up of officers from both divisions of the department and who have other full-time duties. These officers, while being assigned to this team on a part-time basis, all have extensive training in areas such as hostage rescue, high risk warrant service, and armed or barricaded suspects. In addition, this team is often called upon to address crime specific issues in Town to include street level drug sales and gang activity.

Officers assigned to this team are trained and equipped with special weapons and equipment. In addition to the standard tactical equipment these officers have access to and are trained in the use of less than lethal delivery systems.
