About our SWAT news

Latest news on Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, highly trained police units that are called in to deal with very dangerous or sensitive situations. SWAT teams are typically used for things like hostage situations, terrorist incidents, or high-risk arrests. They are also sometimes used for crowd control or riot situations. SWAT teams are very well-armed and often use specialized equipment like body armor, night vision goggles, and armored vehicles.

This feed updates continuously 24/7 so check back regularly. Relevance is automatically assessed, so occasionally headlines not about SWAT news might appear - if so please contact us regarding any persistent issues.
