Swat
Duties and
Responsibilities:
The National Tactical Officers
Association has established a set of standards for law enforcement agencies to
follow, as a means of improving and enhancing the performance of SWAT teams
across the country. NTOA standards dictate that every part-time SWAT officer
must take a 40-hour basic training course, spend 16 hours a month in basic
skills maintenance and an additional eight hours a month for specialty
assignments such as sniper training or medical support. Full-time tactical
officers must train 25 percent of their on-duty time, in addition to the 40
hour basic course. SWAT officers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week
Salary:
$56,260 a year
Education: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic (BLS), a
person needs only a high school education to become a law enforcement officer,
although many agencies require some college education or a college degree. Some
community colleges offer tactical law enforcement classes and programs. These
programs cover areas such as self-defense, firearms training, tactical
operations, search and seizure and tactical report writing. A few colleges also
offer police academy training programs, while some private industry
associations offer SWAT training programs.
