Headwaters S.W.A.T.

Headwaters Special Weapons and Tactics Team (S.W.A.T.) provides highly trained and motivated personnel to be used in those instances where specialized skills are required to manage with situations where regular patrol officer resources would not be sufficient to resolve a situation.
The safety and preservation of all human life is S.W.A.T.’s primary objective. The Team accomplishes this objective by acting as a support unit which is specially trained and equipped to resolve critical high risk situations. Containment of suspects and negotiation procedures are the Team’s first responsibilities.
