SWAT

The SWAT (special weapons and tactics) is an elite tactical unit in USA specializing in paramilitary operations in major cities in 2027.

Background
The first SWAT team was established by inspector Daryl Gates in the Los Angeles Police Department in 1968. They are trained to perform high-risk operations that fall outside of the abilities of regular officers. SWAT teams are often equipped with military firearms and a heavy body armor. Their duties include:


 * Performing hostage rescues and counter-terrorism operations
 * Serving high risk arrest and search warrants
 * Subduing barricaded suspects and engaging heavily-armed criminals

In 2027, they are almost in constant operation against anti-augmentation groups like Purity First, creating riots around the USA and hostage taking.

In 2052, the SWAT seems to have merged with the UNATCO, since it never mentioned and during operations against rioters claiming the free and mass distribution of the Ambrosia, the vaccine for the Gray Death ravaging the USA at this time, solely produced and monopolized by Page Industries and Bob Page, only the UNATCO, the FEMA and the police are referred in bulletins and newspapers.
