Where do they get all this money for these SWAT teams...the Feds?

I don’t think so - it’s just part of the police dept budget. I need to verify that, but a quick look at our city’s budget, and I don’t see anything like that.

Now, PDs are Fed funding for specific items. The MRAPs DHS is ladling out across the fruited plain are a great example. But I don’t think there is specific Fed funding for local SWAT team normal operations.
