Who Does SWAT/QRT Bring to the Table?

Those of us in the tactical community know that outsiders think of us as gun-toting, camouflage-wearing, egotistical men and women who like to “fire for effect” and can’t wait to get “Ramboed up” for the next gunfight at the OK corral.  Within SWAT we don’t frankly care because the basic SWAT officer is too busy training our many skill sets, body and mind for the next response to a volatile situation where everyone looks to us to preserve peace and restored order.
