Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a SWAT officer? Watch this video to find out! We followed 13 SAPD officers as they competed to fill two openings on the S.W.A.T Unit.
I'm always hungry for more, while I was enlisted in the Marines I went through every physical training I could that my body could endure. I unfortunately came to the end of the road when I was not selected for MARSOC, after going through the brutal A&S period. Now that I am out, I'm looking for more. This definitely looks like a challenge and a good way to support our community. Good luck to everyone that decides to join!

Don’t feel bad, man. At least you tried and know your character. I went through Army’s PSYOPS and did not get selected. After 12 years of active duty I decided to join the PD 👍🏽
@@guestmiller2845 hahah good job but being in the Marines,Navy,Air Force,S.W.A.T. team,ect is a life risking job we're risking our own lives by joining the service but we gotta serve our country

Hey guys, looking to do a project for a homeland security class I'm taking. Hoping you could answer a few questions for me. What are the physical requirements for SATX swat? Is there one pt standard for men and women? Is there a time limit on the obstacle course? How long is swat training?
Ii would be such a beast with this if it wasn’t for my stroke I used to be a athlete then it all disappeared when I got into a car accident but now I’m working hsrd to get my physical side back
I want to do swat do you recommend doing military first or college then just po to swat ik you don’t have to have a military backround but is it more beneficial should i do that?
Remember Swat is the real thing, do your research before wanting to join or thinking of joining swat, if you want to join because your friend is or wants to join, no your shouldn’t do that, this job is life risking and without skill or goofing off while in the job could get you or your team killed
Ken Kaneki getting shot at and having people call you names and having protest about you isn’t fun. It’s not fun risking your life for someone who hates police as a police officer.
yes this is tougher than the Army and the Air Force. You actually have to be in some kind of shape to pass SWAT. The Army needs people so bad they are just pushing people through basic who get to their units and can't pass the physical fitness test.
@A B the whole military has gone to shit. I came in June 2007 by August 2019 I couldn't take it anymore. Out of shape disrespectful soldiers who don't listen and if you discipline them you get in trouble. At least that aas my experience with it.
Music is drowning out what the officers are saying..

I’d feel much better in swat than in the military because I’m not serving national interests of politicians and destroying infrastructures of other government. I’d actually be saving people.
I tried to find it but it's not listed. USUALLY, most team require more than two, and sometimes more than 5 years before you can apply to a specialty (like SWAT) as an Officer. Sergeant positions are usually Team Lead positions and there are few of those open. Usually an officer who makes sgt while on SWAT is sent back to the road as a road sgt and IF there is a TL spot open then they are usually invited back, or in our teams case, they are assigned the TL spot as a secondary. Our SWAT team is a secondary position (we're trying to get it FT) and we stay on our primary spot. Hope this kind of helps.
Officers must generally have at least three years of law enforcement experience before applying for promotion to a SWAT unit.Potential candidates are often required to pass an examination that assesses if they possess the necessary knowledge and abilities to work on the SWAT team. After accepted, SWAT officers undergo about 15 to 30 weeks of specialized training.Training usually lasts an average of 19 weeks. You can expect to complete courses in state and federal law, local ordinances, civil rights, accident investigation, traffic control, firearms, emergency response, self-defense, and patrol
Military Police is a joke just glorified security guards. I was one for 8 years. Most probably 99% of police departments will not let you be on any specialty squad until you do some time on patrol 2-3 years. so if you think you are going to get out of the military and go right into SWAT get that out of your heard right now. Also look up the requirements for whatever specialty you want to do most departments have a website and tell you stuff like that.
Learn to climb things, transition between running sprints/carrying heavy objects/crawling/climbing/fighting, etc. It's combining events and doing completely different activities back-to-back that trips most people up.
I've always said this since my days in the Corps. This kind of stuff is great for training, but not for testing one's ability under stress. And, here's why. Shooting in place, at a target that doesn't move, is a great start, however... Running in PT shorts and shirts will never simulate running in gear. No SWAT officer ever performed numerous pushups during the course of an event. Monkey bars...really?!? Crawling under a netted ghillie suit...please. Carrying a dummy with straps versus the 2 arm method??? Most training is always done on nice sunny days...why?!?
@@duquntv4147 It depends on the length. A lot of departments are starting to relax on the rules. As far as I'm aware you can have long hair but for men, it can't be long enough to touch your collar such as if you're wearing a dress shirt.
@@duquntv4147 I recommend that if you're going to have long hair you should also train in martial arts to know what to do in case someone grabs your luscious locks during a fight.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. (Psalms 14:1-4)

Thanks this helped alot im just trying to learn like how much you earn per month hour whatever so im preparing
I feel like every man shoul receive this type of training at 17 yrs old. Goal? Evey mans duty is know how to self defense
Yeah, like a sort of draft into the military, except you can leave and you aren’t required to deploy. You get all the training and such that you need.
and every woman
@@gabypesantez9679 nah not women

So is it like basic training where you are forced to sleep there overnight or do you have the ability to show up there every day?
I don’t know the pass to fail ratio but if I had to guess it’s gonna be the same as Making it into a hazmat team or a cadaver dive team so 2 of 10.
Is this a full time SWAT team or is it an on-call/standby position?
I can’t wait to play
The SAPD Police Officers are Friendly and Helpful People You can ever meet
Bruh when they did the monkey bars, that killed me for some reason 😂

Not physically fit in college first year plan to start soon want to be ready for the academy in the future

How's it going bro
I’m not bashing these guys, I support them very much. But they where moving very slow on that obstacle course.
Most swat tryouts make you where 50 pound weights on your body so they’ll be moving slow
Motivation today is hampered by Fortnite and Minecraft.

Trying out for my depts team in three days
I want to do swat do you recommend doing military first or college then just po to swat ik you don’t have to have a military backround but is it more beneficial should i do that?
Military first cause remember military discount free college it is a smarter alternative than to be paying student loan till you like 69
you have to be a patrol officer/ a regular cop for like 2 years before you can qualify to tryout for the swat team. In most departments maybe not all.
I'm going threw school
You don't need a degree or military experience to be on the SWAT team.

Is this as tough or tougher than basic army/marine training? What about AF/navy?

How many years on the force is required before trying out for SAPD SWAT?
I believe you have to be Sgt or higher

Aaron Smith Great info for reference, much appreciated. Gives me an idea of how things can be structured.
You only need 2 years on the force before you can apply.
I want but I can't
I need advice do you guys think that an ATF agent is a good job
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is alright but just letting you know that they're one of the more hated agencies.
Secret Service is probably better.

Not at all the same. Lmao

This is weird watching this compared to watching actual army training (not that this is easy or anything)
Reason it's not super crazy is because all these people have already done police academy, and most likely have military experience
You idiot! intstructor in SWAT mostly former Army SF and Marines.So its not enough for you?
My future job
Are you in the swat yet?
Is cross fit training enough to prepare me for SWAT tryouts or do I need to prepare more?
studswat87 CrossFit is great.... but also doing a lot of calisthenics and running a lot would really help. 👍
Learn to climb things, transition between running sprints/carrying heavy objects/crawling/climbing/fighting, etc. It's combining events and doing completely different activities back-to-back that trips most people up.
Can females join though?
For anyone trying to join SWAT you should prob become a police officer first to get some experience
youraverageblackboy you have to become a cop first for at least 2 years in order to become SWAT.

Be there how old u gotta be
21 years of age to become a standard police officer then have at least 3 years of experience as an officer before applying
In my area, you have to be 19 years old to apply for a police officer position and you need 2 years of experience before you can apply for SWAT.
