If you have ever done MOUT (Military Operations in Urbanized Terrain) training you would realize that a whole lot of stuff can go wrong entering buildings. High casualty environment even at the best of times under optimum circumstances for the assault team.

Well then SWAT should also be issued fragmentation grenades along with their flash/bangs. Lob in the grenades and save two officers!

A few grenades would solve that problem, but of course thats beyond issued police ordnance.

But it may come to that yet.

Do they have flash bangs issued to California SWAT?
