What do i have to do to get on swat team?

Question

I know first off you need to spend time on the police force before becoming swat, but what do they look for in potential swat applicants? Im in the army reserves as a 31bravo miltary police. Would airborne or air assualt badges look good? Thanks for the info!

Answer 1

They will look at you police background. How may tickets you give, how many people you have arrrested, sick call in, etc... , They will also look at your education history so the higher degree you have the better. Millitary history is a plus. You must also be physicaly fit. Further be prepared to take a psycholgical exam and train like h**l

Answer 2

Mostly SWAT officers are military, because the training you go through prepares you for the discipline you need.  Most of the time you are training, and not much else.  They usually work in 3 shifts.  You are either at home and on call, or you are at training and not on call, or you are working, but generally sitting at the station.  My neighbor is SWAT and he said that the movie SWAT is pretty close to how his average days go.

Answer 3

you have to run 10 miles in a fully geared bullet proof suit and everything and u have to carry a 10 pound ak-47. i tried once puked everywhere and went back 2 years l8er and made it

Answer 4

Im sorry to say but ure badges wont make you into a swat memeber. You have to be the best and the top out of everyone to be a Special Weapons and Tactics team member. But they will look good on a resume.

And there is no Such thing as a NORMAL day as a SWAT or a Police officer.
