Then by all means, point out the benefits of full-time SWAT. I'm not being a smart*ss...just asking. Are there actually instances where any officer(s) on the street need/request SWAT and are actually being turned down because they're "not available"? Even with a full time unit, wouldn't there still be just as much mobilization time involved to get the equipment and respond to a command post, just as is done now? Or do you seriously think a full time SWAT team would just ride around in the BEAR in
