[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 3376682, member: 4864"] He stated that beat cops don't need that equipment. If a beat cop didn't have the training and equipment for it, who else but a dedicated specialized unit? The current units are staffed by beat cops who can be called out at anytime, thus the need for them rolling out with that equipment. Now, not quite 80% have that equipment or training, but most of these units use similar equipment, uniforms etc, but perform different, very specific job roles. OCPD has ERT, USAR, Tac team, bomb squad, VCTF, officers trained for riot control, rifle operators etc. Most people would mistake any of those for "SWAT", so it would appear that 80% of the dept is ready to "bust down doors in the Helmand Province".
