Special Weapons And Tactics
Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) units are highly specialized subdivisions within the Blaine County Sheriff's Office (BCSO), Los Santos Police Department (LSPD), San Andreas Highway Patrol (SAHP), and San Andreas State Police (SASP). These units are comprised of highly trained personnel equipped to handle critical incidents that exceed the capabilities of regular patrol officers. SWAT teams are deployed in situations involving hostage situations, barricaded suspects, high-risk warrant service, and other complex tactical operations. Members undergo rigorous training in specialized weaponry, tactical maneuvers, crisis negotiation, and close-quarters combat. The primary mission of SWAT is to resolve high-risk situations safely and effectively, minimizing the risk to civilians, law enforcement personnel, and suspects. These units are committed to professionalism, precision, and the preservation of life in the face of extreme challenges.
