SOF Support
Some of these agencies your talking about don't really have SWAT, more of a tactical warrant team. Just a note of interest.....NASA doesn't have a SWAT team made up of the OIG Special Agents....NASA contracts the 29-member SWAT team from Space Gateway Support LLC (since 1979).
I was on my departments SWAT team for 15 years (collateral duty) before getting off (back injury, thanks Iraq), we had to fight for a lot of the warrants we served, even when it met the threat matrix our department used. We had a policy where you couldn't just partially call out the SWAT team, it was either all or none, so....a lot of warrants were just served by the narcs, CID or Vice units.
