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.
Salary:
According to 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.
 


Reflection: I WOULD LIKE TO BE A S.W.A.T BECAUSE I THINK IT’S A COOL JOB AND ALSO THEY GET A LOT OF MONEY( AND BECAUSE I LOVE GUNS)
