A '''SWAT team''' is a group of highly trained [[police officer]]s who deal with very dangerous [[criminal]]s. SWAT is an [[acronym]] that means '''S'''pecial '''W'''eapons '''A'''nd '''T'''actics. SWAT officers carry weapons of higher [[caliber]] than most police officers do, such as [[machine gun]]s, [[shotgun]]s, and [[sniper rifle]]s. Usually, police departments use SWAT teams to catch people who sell illegal [[Illegal drugs|drugs]] or try to hold people [[hostage]]. They also respond to serious crimes like [[bank]] [[robbery|robberies]] when normal police officers can not control the robbers.
The SWAT teams are usually called to deal with hostage situations. They plan the entry into the building where the hostages are being held carefully. They look closely at all building entrances to choose the best option. They make use of equipment such as [[rappelling rope]]s, [[nightvision goggles]], [[thermalvision goggles]], a tactical [[shield]], [[flashbang grenade|flashbang]] and [[smoke grenade]]s, snake cameras (small cameras that fit under doors and into very small holes), among others.
