Our SWAT guys are just street cops too. They morph into SWAT when necessary. They do train multiple times each week to stay sharp. We don't have the luxury of a dedicated SWAT team.

IMHO, SWAT should be left to specially-trained dedicated teams. Too many police departments engage in SWAT-style raids without the training necessary to make such practices safe for anyone.
