Definition
Police tactical units are specialized units of a police force tasked with resolving high risk / critical incidents, including:
high risk armed offender / suspect searches / apprehensions including arrest warrants
high risk search warrants involving an armed / dangerous offender / suspect
siege / barricade incidents involving an armed offender / suspect
domestic counter-terrorism incidents such as hostage rescue and / or armed intervention (including units that may be granted authority for overseas operations)
In the United States, police tactical units are known by the generic term Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team (other countries have adopted this term). In Australia, the term police tactical group is used for police tactical units. The European Union uses the term special intervention unit for national counter terrorist police tactical units.
