Verified SWAT
It's agency dependent, as far as I've seen. 18-series, Rangers, SEALs, MARSOC CSOs are guaranteed to get on our team once probation is done. I know FBI specifically recruits for HRT from SOF, but it's a bit misleading in that you have to do 3 (?) years in a field office first.
I also think that it's different for agencies who run full-time teams and those for whom SWAT is a collateral duty. Throw in team capabilities and DHS Type 1,2, or 3 classification and it gets more interesting.
