Special Weapons and Tactics is a specialized team of the San Andreas State Police, tasked with dealing with situations that are deemed life-threatening or pose a potential hazard to civilians and law enforcement officers. The tasks that are assigned to the SWAT Unit, are therefore carefully prepared and executed. This is highly necessary, because the individuals that SWAT apprehends are mostly criminals with a long history of encounters with law enforcement, often with the use of violence and firearms. This is also the reason SWAT works anonymous and their faces are covered, making them unrecognizable to the public, etc. SWAT teams spend a good portion of their time strategizing and training. Yes they have lots of weapons at their disposal
