S.W.A.T. teams are elite
divisions of police officers trained to handle kidnapping, bank robberies,
hijacking and other sensitive situations which can't be properly handled by the
line policemen.
These military-styled groups of policemen were formed in
many American cities in the 1960s when civil unrest and terrorism were on the
rise.
