Duties and responsibilities:
These officers carry out the regular
duties and responsibilities of patrol
officer as well as that of a SWAT Team member. The SWAT Team holds
regular meetings and exercise drills to keep their level of proficiency at its
highest.
SWAT Operators are trained
specialists who resolve high-risk tactical situations. A SWAT member’s special
training and flexibility allow the SWAT team to tackle hostage situations,
high-risk warrant service operations, search and rescue operations, tactical
waterborne operations, covert and undercover tactical operations, special
circumstances such as crowd control and rural searches and many other high-risk
circumstances. The SWAT team is often some of the most highly trained unit of a
police department.

a 2011 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, police officers, including SWAT team members, have an average base salary of $56,260 a
year. Police officers in New Jersey are the highest paid in the nation with average salaries of $81,970.
Education: Generally, SWAT Operators must have three years minimum
experience in their respective department. While it is not necessary for SWAT
operators to have an advanced education degree, it has become increasingly
popular important to obtain a two or four year degree in criminal justice. SWAT
operators also are involved in advanced training which includes everything from
sniper/counter-sniper operations to helicopter insertion techniques.
