How many people are typically in a swat team? What are the roles of a swat team? Isn't there a Team lead, Breach, Assault, Sniper, Bomb specialist, communication/tech, Spotter and point man?

you mean on a team that enters a building or a team in general?
the unit itself depends on the size of the department. i've been to big cities that had about 50-60 members but that doesnt mean all 60 will enter a facility. ive been to very small towns that only had 4 policeman and there was no way they could shut down the force to respond so they had reserve policeman to fill in. lots of small towns have reserve officers to fill in when the holidays hit or when an officer is on vacation. now if your talking about the guys who enter a facility. again depends on the size of the police force and the size of the facility being entered, but there are ways around that. if you mean a typical team that you would see entering a home etc. on average id say 6 men. each will have a talent/skill set. mostly dependent on what ancillary training that person has certed in. but a good team will have some cross training should a member go down there is another guy who kinda knows whats going on. but yes there is a person for every position. not everyone can carry everything. you breacher will have special gear for example that not everyone needs. i will not say where i had an offer to join swat or what they wanted me to (nor am i am expert on the new tactics past 9/11) but i can say they ran in teams of 6. this was a large town and they had multiple teams staged around town. whichever team was closest to an event got the call while the other teams where put on alert for back up. |
