Spec Ops CQB teams are designed to kill targets and sometimes rescue hostages. It's certainly similar, but the mission focus is just a little different, as are the rules of engagement.
I tend to think of our Military CQB units as much more elite than any city's Police SWAT unit. Funding, training, equipment, weaponry, etc. All of it would be inferior to what the military could provide.
So let's use Shockwave as an example. Let's say he is with the Detroit SWAT team, and he's an excellent SWAT officer. I figure he joins the Army to be an MP and train with an Army SWAT Team. Or Maybe, because G.I. Joe/Delta is so good at CQB, Shockwave tries out for the Joe "18x" program and makes it. I'm not syaing his previous experience isn't helpful. It certainly is. I just think that the training, weapons, equipment, and operational tempo of the Joe team would be a step up from the Detroit SWAT Team.
Actually big city SWAT Teams have more operational experience than most military CQB teams. Many do 3-5 high risk warrant ops a week. Until the GWOT started, most military units were doing more practice with very little operating. Even now Delta Force is spending more time doing security/bodyguard details than hostage rescue ops.
