List of police tactical units

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For military special forces units / special operation forces, see List of special forces units.

This is a list of active police tactical units.

Definition[]

Police tactical units are specialized units of a police force tasked with resolving high risk / critical incidents, including:

  • high risk armed offender / suspect searches / apprehensions including arrest warrants[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, police tactical units are known by the generic term Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team (other countries have adopted this term).[2] In Australia, the term police tactical group is used for police tactical units.[3] The European Union uses the term special intervention unit for national counter terrorist police tactical units.[4]
