The SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) Team is a Sub-division within the Organize Crime Response Unit, responsible for handling high-risk situations that exceed standard patrol capabilities. This includes armed suspects, hostage situations, barricaded subjects, and the execution of high-risk warrants.

Members of the SWAT Team are held to a higher standard of training, discipline, and decision-making. They must demonstrate strong tactical awareness, teamwork, and the ability to remain composed under pressure. Selection into the unit is competitive and requires prior experience, consistent activity, and a proven record of professionalism within the department. 

Those interested in joining should be prepared to train regularly, follow strict operational protocols, and operate within a structured chain of command. The SWAT Team represents one of the most elite divisions in the agency, requiring commitment, reliability, and a serious approach to all operations.
