Los Santos Police Department – Special Weapons and Tactics
PURPOSE OF SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTICS
The Special Weapons and Tactics Function provides tactical and
operational response for situations involving barricaded
suspects, snipers, hostages or potentially volatile situations.
SWAT serves high-risk arrest search warrants. SWAT is available
as a resource to assist with or assume control of large civil
disturbances and other events at the direction of the Chief of
Police or his/her designee. SWAT trains and equips Rifle,
Chemical Munitions, Less Letha, Tactical Entry, Technical
Support, Logistics, Crisis Negotiations and Medical Support
Teams.
BARRICADED SUSPECTS, SNIPERS AND HOSTAGE SITUATIONS
The primary concern in all tactical situations is the protection
of human life. Whenever possible, efforts will be directed
towards peaceful negotiation rather than violent assault.
Barricaded suspects, snipers and hostage situations require a
tactical plan. The primary responsibility of responding officers
is to clear the area of bystanders and seal avenues of escape.
The supervisor at the scene shall notify the on-duty Watch
Commander, who may call an Operation 100. If the Watch Commander
is not available, an on-scene supervisor may call an Operation
100.
PROCEDURES FOR OPERATION 100
Officers confronting a sniper, armed, barricaded person or
hostage situation shall first provide for their own safety and
the safety of others.
If the situation has turned into an active shooter scenario,
responding personnel shall act in accordance with the Active
Shooter policy (Below this section).
The on-duty Watch Commander, or in his/her absence, the
on-scene supervisor, will assess the situation and determine if
an Operation 100 is necessary.
If it is determined that an Operation 100 is necessary, the
Watch Commander or on-scene supervisor shall notify all other
departments of the situation via department radio, and request
other officers or agents be dispatched to the scene to contain
the threat, maintain observation and prevent escape.
The primary responsibility of officers dispatched to the
incident is to secure the area.
The on-duty Watch Commander or on-scene supervisor shall
determine if the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit (SWAT) should
respond. If so, the Watch Commander or on-scene supervisor
shall:
Notify other Factions that Operation 100 is in effect, via
department radio.
Designate a S.W.A.T Field Command Post Area, with the Incident
Command Vehicle
When selecting the S.W.A.T Field Command Post area, the area
should be:
Out of sight of the perpetrator(s)
Close enough to be practical
Prefferably upwind from the incident site, to avoid
biological/chemical hazards, and sniper wind barrier.
Large enough to accommodate a minimum of 20 vehicles, including
vehicles such as Mobile Command One, S.W.A.T Negotiators Van,
S.W.A.T Equipment Van, Explosive Ordinance Vehicle, Tactical
Command Vehicles, Tactical Vehicles, and up to 4 Helicopters.
REMEMBER: When selecting a SWAT Field Command Post area it is
best to select a larger area than may be needed and scale it
back, rather than an area which is too small.
