List of special law enforcement units
This is a list of active police tactical units.
Definition
Police tactical units or SWAT teams are part of a police force tasked with resolving high risk/critical incidents, including:
- high risk armed offender/suspect searches/apprehensions including arrest warrant[1]
- high risk search warrants involving an armed/dangerous offender/suspect[1]
- siege/barricade incidents involving an armed offender/suspect[1]
- domestic counter-terrorism incidents such as hostage rescue and/or armed intervention (including units that may be granted authority for overseas operations)[1]
In the United States, most police tactical units are known by the generic term of Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team (other countries have adopted this term).[2] In Australia, police tactical units are formally known as a police tactical group.[3] The European Union uses the term Special Intervention Unit to define national counter terrorist police tactical units.[4]
