DAY IN THE LIFE with Chester County SWAT Team
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- On today's episode, we get to see what a day in the life is like with the Chester County SWAT team during a live training scenario! The training was broken up into three separate days where they implemented different tactics to safely and effectively save lives. The first day was a qualifiers range day, followed by a paintball simulation day, and concluded with an 8-hour live scenario including hostages and suspects. These trainings are just the tip of the iceberg of what SWAT goes through.

#SWAT #DayInTheLife #HeroesNextDoor
I'm a retired cop and I can say. Whenever SWAT team arrived to some of our more dangerous calls, I always got this really amazing feeling of relief.
Thanks that means a lot
What about the Uvalde School shooting?
@@clarkesmith. very likely he was not in Uvdale PD. If the Uvdale PD police chief at that time Arredondo took into his leadership position and green lit his officers to go in, then the Uvdale would have been less of a tragedy as it is known today. Otherwise, it was also a poor coordination of communication and also the failure of initiative/leadership of the first officer Adrian Gonzales whose reactions at Uvdale that also compounded into making such a tragedy.
Arredondo and the Gonzales were both held responsible, charged, and was fired from the police department
@@loafoffloof3420 I know he's not in Uvalde PD. But SWAT was definitely there, and they didnt do anything. Of course, like you said, communication and leadership failure was the biggest cause of it and I'm glad the 2 of them got fired.
But I'm just angry that the SWAT commander (there should be one) couldn't take over the role and take control of the situation.
Youre gay 😂😂😂😂
I’ve gotten to work with these guys in the training sims. I got to be the “bad guy” and these guys don’t miss LOL. Great group of guys.
Thank you for helping out. These scenarios are worst case but the professionals like and need to be prepared. Thank you for watching.
how many times can someone say "guy"....
@@Enlightened0ne a lot! haha
How goes a guy volunteer to be a bad guy in the training Sims my guy?
how does one get to work as OPFOR
The training scenarios seem so stressful and fun at the same time
Right! I'd love to be the guy not giving up.
@@ryanvandoren1519 not a cop but im in the army. Being the bad guys is always fun. You just hide and ambush them while they walk for miles looking for you, then you pretend you die
@@kevinc.cucumber3697 I'm jealous dude, legal issues kept me from serv8ng. I appreciate you sacrificing your time and potential conscious for my freedoms dude. You guys rock!
@@ryanvandoren1519 meh, none of us really feel like that. Military isn’t as noble and awesome as you think it would be. You’re not missing anything by not being able to join.
@@kevinc.cucumber3697 won't lie, that just calmed all my guilt about not being able to join. Thanks dude. Wish you all the best!
"Put your hands up and walk to us!"
"No"
The attitude, man
Chad
At least they tried xD
Welp we tried boys lets head home
scratch that one of the list -
Why they so afraid to walk to him?
This was really interesting, as a side note I would absolutely love to take part in a live scenario training like that, it looks like a lot of fun
yeah, it was a great time and it does a pretty good job simulating what could happen. It's also a great learning experience for the team so that they can work out any problems they have
I got to as a fire explorer at my department, mall live scenario, police and active shooter, I had fake blood I was technically-speaking alive, shot in the back twice once in the shoulder and leg but for us they used blanks to simulate live fire, we didn't have ear protection either.
@Boom Battlefields how did I not think about that! Thanks for the tip!
What an awesome video! So much content packed into one video with some really great angles. Great job!
Thanks Adam!
At 8:02 the guy on the phone and the guy standing to his left were my criminal justice teachers in high school. They were great teachers learned a lot from them.
That’s awesome! They bring students from that class to help out
Oh hell I would join for just the paint ball course just by its self that looks Hella more fun then normal old paint ball
It was definitely a fun day!
ikr
Wait til the swat learn about air-soft
should try airsoft then :P
Here in Spain we got the GEO, you can watch on Prime Video.

Nice training and scenarios, I was a " team" medic before there was a curriculum, back in the early days, but also trained up on " entry" as well. Yes to the comment on upgrading your paintball weapons when financially and otherwise feasible. I saw some nice teamwork, great video, thanks .👍🇺🇲
They were prob a donation from the military, just like most of the armored vehicles used by S.W.A.T teams
I got to work with local law enforcement when they asked for volunteers from my reserve unit's battalion to play the bad guys. I got picked because of some of the people I know from my unit were in law enforcement. I tried to be as unpredictable as possible and because of that they call me to come help them train every two to three months. great group of guys and gals which about half are ex military so there was always shit talking going on.
I like your profile picture
88% of "law enforcement" never served in the military so you're lying or you statistically found yourself an extreme anomaly.
@@angryjarhead I would say it is an extreme anomaly. I live near 2 active military installations.
@@davidgamino1106 been meaning to change it. having a friend design one for me.
@@angryjarhead funny about 60% of my company are all cops on the civilian side. I'm from KY though
i would totaly want to go there and watch just to watch these guys go tactical during training.
Worshipping and pray for you all every morning and may god bless you all.
Airsoft expectation is this. Reality is little kids screaming at eachother
😂
*Reality is casual gameplay with little to no screaming kids or cheaters
It’s just the clickbait UA-cam videos that put airsoft in a bad light sometimes. I’ve never had an unpleasant individual in all my time at multiple fields.
I've met a lot of great people at airsoft. Outdoor fields are generally where the adults play
We absolutely need these guys, it's just: the reality is that a hostage-taker could easily just start putting down hostages as soon as he sees rifle mounted flashlight-light.
I get your point that’s why we train and we continue to try to do research for better outcomes and safety of any hostage
I heard the last one didn’t work out so well.
CQB is so incredible hard. These guys did a great job!
Practice practice practice
THIS is impressive! Looks like some very thorough and realistic training, I’m active duty infantry and I’m jealous these guys probably get better training for their job than we even do, very impressive program. The citizens of that county should be very proud
But you infntry guys train escpe evasion unlike your local swt they dont what if they are the ones to be captured?
@@hexebarya7395 lol infantry doesn’t get that sort of training, more like Special Operations or pilots. I mean… an infantry squad would outmaneuver SWAT on a patrol in the woods. But if it was inside a building. I bet a SWAT team would do a better job at CQB than us. Seems like they focus more on CQB as a main skillset, we don’t do CQB enough imo.
@@DevilFrog61 why you dont go SERE? Here in philippines every military/soldier undergoes that training atleast at level b
@@DevilFrog61 are you an army or a marine? What unit do u belong?
@@hexebarya7395 much respect to the Philippines, I’ve met a handful of you guys in training and every one of them were some hard charging dudes
A SWAT member was injured by a GSW in the leg. His teammates directly apply a tourniquet to his leg & he continues fighting.
- When your team plays in *GOD MODE*
If you don’t train to stay in the fight if or when it actually happens you will quit.
@@HeroesNextDoor That makes sense, even if returning to a fight if you were in need for a TQ is not very realistic. IRL you will be removed your weapons so you cannot apply friendly fire due to blood loss or pain, and you have to be taken taken out of the hot zone if possible.
Training to stay in fight is one side - training to react to a hit comrade the other ;)
Actually, it sounds like this is a relatively new group of SWAT officers getting trained. Teaching the team to apply a TQ is realistic, but then taking that guy out of the fight means he doesn't get to learn from the rest of the simulation. In terms of training outcomes, it's probably better if the guy stays in the fight in this scenario. If this were an operational unit conducting drills, then arguably it would make more sense to take the guy out. Depends on what the training objective is.
I think no matter how realistic the training is, it's not comparable if you're in a real situation for these men
well duh, but those who study for tests usually do better
Having training compared to not having it at all would be more preferable wouldn't you think?
ask any combat vet (either in foreign wars or domestic ones) what their thoughts on training are lol
yeah we think it's pretty necessary lmao
That's pretty true, but remember that in stressful enough situations you don't rise to the occasion, you sink to what you know. Training helps you lock in the fundamentals to a level of proficiency where you don't have to think about what you're doing.
In the past, there was a case where the military and police teams were put together and competed in alternating offensive and defensive roles. The hostages were killed and the swat team was wiped out in a response different from the usual training... It was panic itself. But it was practical CQB training.
Must of been a lot different for them. Not the usual crack head with a pot metal pistol.
Love to see the hard work and dedication! You guys deserve the self-gratificatation of a unit designed to deliver unrelenting success in a hostage situation! (Hell, shows here in practice)...Unlike the Uvalde response that failed miserably, you guys would've saved more lives.
God Bless the SWAT Teams Thank you for serving and protecting
Our pleasure
They don’t. They work to protect the power of the state. Take away they’re funding and let’s see if they still protect you. 🤔
Hey there so called “hero”. Would you still help these people if you didn’t get paid? I’ve bet not.
Mercenary
@@benedictcumberbatch4275 sir, you've missed the point. Nobody would do their job if they weren't paid. That's the point of a salary in the first place.
It would be really fun if they'd let more random people that volunteered to be bad guys give it a try so they get experience training against people that have different experience from them and different motivations.
True, but you'll end up with a bunch of people acting cartoonists bad rather than providing decent training. Unless they went through a train up cycle. There are military versions of this however, you typically do a civil boot camp and get to work for a rotation.
@@TheIcup24trust me, after being hit by a sim round any Rambo you had in you is immediately lost. Those things hurt like a mf
"It's all sandwiches bud" always has been
This reminds me of when I trained with HRT! Fun times man , would love to train with you guys ✊🏾. In times like this nothing better then civilians And law enforcement working together to combat evil ,’ keep up the fight
Recommend reading "Training at the Speed of Life" by Kenneth Murray. Having taught Sims for over ten years I can see several safety issues to be considered. For example the Role players ( I get SWAT guys dont wear full masks, we dont either) need to have proper head protection and using real kids... I get realism but the liability ...
Thanks
Yeah I saw this and was a bit shocked/worried as well. Mostly because of the lack of proper head protection for most of the SWAT and hostages while using simunition since to my understanding its definitely a lot more powerful than paintball pellets or anything like that
Fantastic insight! Thank you!
Man, wouldn't it be fun to act as a bad guy in one of these? This video was awesome, so cool.
Great video! Thanks for an up close view!
You are welcome. Coming soon is going to be a live burn video and a class 3 rapids water rescue. This summer is going to be amazing
@@HeroesNextDoor Can't wait to see it. Your videos are high quality and without "fluff".
I know this is like a year late, but qualifiers is a pretty cool concept. These guys have to be fresh and at their absolute peak to make sure the job gets done every time. If you're not ready, sit this one out.
I don't have a hero next door, I live with one. My dad is a motorcycle/unmarked and normal cop, and he is a great cop.
Ready Or Not
I’ve played paintball there before, awesome place
For those wondering why they didn't immediately help an injured victim, is because the best way to save someone is to neutralize the immediate threats first, then drag them to safety. If you attempt to save someone during a gunfight, you will end up being a second casualty. And if your buddies try to save you, the bodies will keep stacking until some takes care of the threat.
Edit: they also taught us in the police academy that the first team in is supposed to look for, and neutralize the threat. Second teams going in, are responsible for casualty and evacuation. Different departments have different SOPs, but I heard it's generally the same
Thank you for watching and commenting many get confused
and remember this... "one victim is better than 2 victims"
I want to become a SWAT. Got to start preparing.
That was neat, well done!
Thank you to all the professionals who allowed us the inside look. These men and women are also the heroes next door just as much as fire and EMS. Thank you for watching
I live in chester county and there swat team is very cool. thank you for the video
The paintball place is where I work and I remember them being on the schedule to play
It was a great place and had lots of fun while learning too
Always a good time at poco
These guys caught Danelo Cavalcante in PA today. just shows how good these guys are
READY OR NOT
Ready or not real life, Ron is the most accurate tactical shooting game ever literally exactly like real life
Ron?
I know this is serious training and this could happen in real life, and your life is on the line all the time a swat member. But damn, when on training it looks fun :D
Ready or Not could learn a few things here.
That is the point of training. Thanks for watching
Can’t imagine the stress doing this, must be overwhelming
That’s why a select few can do this but also anyone can do this if they stay calm and focused
im awesome, swat training respect nd negotiate completed.
Those simunition rounds hurt like hell lol
Yep. I'm a POG Marine, but when I was going through MCT...we had to take a buddy and clear a small village with enemies inside and paper targets, had some MOUT and room clearance stuff involved. Me and my buddy get to this wall and I told him to get over the wall and I'd cover him...he goes over the wall and some guys across the street shoot at me from a rooftop, I shoot back and they go down... haven't been hit yet, so he's over the wall I'm like hey I'm crossing over cover me and I start to go over...as soon as I get to the top of the wall with my chest over the ledge a guy pops up from that same roof and pops me two times in my ass, it stung like I got stung by a bee I was surprised...they do hurt lol. I get over the wall and we shoot a couple shots at him and get him in the chest from beyond the wall...clearsd some more stuff with paper targets and got to the end, finished up with a sore ass. Then thought to myself "wow if that was real, I'd have a couple real holes in my ass" lol... people laughing at me because I had two pink dots on my ass. Good times.
my absolute favorite tactic in the entire police manual is keeping your rifle trained on the suspects while offering them free food in exchange for innocent hostages, that shit takes balls of steel and a heart of gold.
As a professional airsoft player I can tell that this is isn't a game. This is actually simulate situations that usually happens. An airsoft we are simulating hostage situations, breaching and neutralizing enemies. Me personally taking it as a real scenarios that can actually happened. This is a great way to train future swats 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
i wanna play as one of those injured hostages. i'll scream in agony and cry. lol
Amazing video thank you!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!

0:01 damn that explosion got me
These sims are so damn stressful but so important. Just one thing I'd like to point out is that if you ever come into a situation where a person is seriously wounded (bleeding out or internally) and at risk of going into to shock DON'T EVER give them water. You could kill them.
mind saying why?? i never knew this
Apparently Chester county SWAT has been simulating their PT program too
I live in Chester county PA lol nice job guys
Thanks for watching
I plan on joining the Georgia State Patrol, and eventually their SWAT division, one day
Same here!
Study hard and go for it. We always need good people
Child Molesters 29814 Amarillo St Magnolia Tx Child Rape!
The intro was fire
Thanks
I would want to try the training with the simunition round
You will feel it when you get it. Speaking from experience
@@HeroesNextDoor Equivalent to a paintball impact I assume?
@@odinharou7112 probably worse. The round has to create enough pressure to cycle the bolt. So it is probably movin pretty quick
@@MrDrBlahh That´s a good consideration. But afaik they got special simunition Bolt Carriers, Pistol Slides and Recoil Springs. In addition to the blue pistol slides you can see that the AR15-bolt carriers are blue as well. I think they even have to change the recoil spring since the simunition round doesnt produce enough pressure against the pistol bolt or gas pressure against the AR15 bolt carrier. But that´s just my consideration and understanding.
@@SGWChaosteam Yea i saw the blue BCGs in the ARs, so you are right. They definitely change out the spring as well, i remember seeing a video of someone testing a 7.62x51 simunition round and it wouldnt cycle. Still think itd be worse than a paintball. Looks like fun though
Proud to be from PA
Me too
sorry to hear that. it's a laughing stock.
@@gextreme2381 one of the best standard of living, and not one of the dumbest or poorest state. Sounds like we’re good over here, but you can stay where you’re at lol
Could u imagine the cops in paintball going "hey call your hits" , "hey no full auto"
Wow that building is at Plymouth meeting Mall !!!
Yes it is!
I'd absolutely smash the paintball fight :D but probably not the real arms test

Awesome 👏🏻
I'm happy that in france we have the RAID and the GIGN
All police officers should be doing these types of trainings
Men i love SWAT Team big fan
1:44 "This first scenerio is two men trespassing on private property ... [SWAT] shows up and immediately neutralizes the first suspect"
Hey maybe GTA V got police right, after all lmao.
you both seemed to have missed the part where they talk about the men waving guns around and threatening people before being neutralized. smh
Things like this inspired me to join the Tulsa SWAT team
Then it met our goals
Okay, forgive my POV-- but this looks fun! The training, qualification, everything; it's a good workout and test for everyone. I also understand the seriousness of these exercises and totally respect that it's no fun matter and that the stakes are high in reality. But just taking it for face value, this looks enjoyable to go through in order to understand the fundamentals (still much respect).
Thank you for watching
the paintball training is so funny dude
That last breach was a eye sore lol . They definitely lost all the hostages and probably a couple of there own
Whole thing is an eye sore. But these guys are just trainees, and they are just going to be raiding regular civilian homes. Anything larger gets SF called in anyways, even if they wear different uniforms sometimes.
@@lazar2175 Special Forces? Like You mean FBI HRT?
@@fakejake4966 HRT, Delta, whatever. They will often wear swat uniforms, probably because they don't want to show off their top tier teams on TV.
But most SWAT members are either ex military or current police officers who drink beer and train once in a blue moon. They aren't really competent to rescue anyone on their own, they just do high profile arrests and drug raids.
Of course there are exceptions, some members are good but the vast majority is on par with your regular police officer.
I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory but that's what my friend, ex-SWAT member told me. And it isn't hard to believe, makes sense when you think about it.
@@lazar2175 SF cant legally operate within US borders
@@phillupurwaterbottle8307 who’s gonna know though and who’s gonna do anything about that’s the sad reality we live in also all kinds of legal gymnastics that can be and are done such as title 9 laws discharging and then reassigning personnel to units and then reinstating back to original unit uniform changes and disguises things labeled as “training exercises” etc I’m sure it happens a lot more than people realize
Some of them boys are eatin' good.....
What most don't realize is we are all wearing our cold weather gear. This was a long scenario that started outside.
this the preview of the next Ready or Not update? it looks nice
What is ready or not?
@@HeroesNextDoor a SWAT game that recently came out. for some reason ive been getting recommended alot of real life swat vidoes ever since i started playing it
much respect for the ppl fightin the good fight by the way. and not just the americans. law enforcement and troopers all around the world
Wow ready or not went from Unreal engine graphics to straight up photorealism
that flashbang actually surprised me
Awesome Job!!
Thanks!
I love how the kids are kept calm by eating chicken nuggets on the floor
The muzzle control is horrible during CQB.
Those issues were addressed by command staff. This is why they train
Waaaaa waaa muzzle control, shut up
@@starstray4326 well I imagine there is a reason why every special team in the world respects muzzle control training. But if you beleive it is ok to suddenly shoot your partner accidentaly, there is no reason for me to keep talking to you. We can measure how good a special operarions team is using different criteria and one of them is muzzle control.
Appreciate Y'all
God bless America 🇺🇸
at 3:38 the drone footage is in reverse you can tell by the cars going backwards.
Great video. Many of the things (equipment and training) are either not here or applied here. Would be great to see them in South Africa 🇿🇦 in the future😭 keep up the work
Thanks for watching!
Thank God to these guys who can actually do this stuff. I certainly can't.
Lots of training
quick question: if the sim rounds have gunpowder behind the projectile, why are they so quiet?
Very good question we will find out.
I think its because they are Subsonic, they don't break the sound barrier, I might be wrong.
@@hussainy110 ehhhh, they still wouldn't be that quiet would they?
@@vihaandas4346 They sounded to me very much like other subsonic rounds. I'm not surprised by the quietness.
Sim rounds do not carry as much gunpowder as normal rounds, only enough to propel the capsule to the target, also its quiet because the round is not breaking the sound barrier so it doesn't have that really loud "Crack" sound. They are louder in person, the microphones can't pick up the piercing part of the sound.
🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗wow 👏thank you for your service 🙏❤wow 👏 I love 💘this video you all truly awesome 👌👏❤♥💜💗
Our pleasure!
OMG, that chubby dude at 4:25, how on earth a SWAT team would allow such lax standards.
lul
That’s the medic and just cause he looks larger does not mean he did not meet the standards and physical fitness requirements.
@@HeroesNextDoor Well, I didn't mean his size, but the 30% body fat percentage :D
@@nomidubidabi well he is swat. You are not. Nothing more needs to be said.
he could definitely still outrun your ass
i like how you also have to be a solid actor they were convincing
This was a really cool video, shame all his other videos aren’t the same stuff
Watch the other day in the life’s. These videos take a ton of time to do and it’s hard to find departments to do it with.
@@HeroesNextDoor yeah sure I’ll watch it, can you link the video please..
Check out the play list day in the life and you can find more
Child Molesters 29814 Amarillo St Magnolia Tx Child Rape!
Interessting video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
cool vid , but individual skills and room clearing leaves a lot to be desired , looked very clumsy
That’s what practice is for
@@HeroesNextDoor practice is for when lives aren't at stake if these guys go to a call the next day it's already to late thus their training standards needs to be adjusted before they can go on actual calls it's simple as that. You don't send a soldier to active duty/war before finishing his BCT or any additional training
Agreed, a lot of exposed backs. Not using the shield properly, dropped security. Slightly worrying they would get the call. This is what happens when you have part time swat trying to be « operators »
Im professionally trained by a former russian special forces soldier, he taught me everything in CQB and these SWAT are actually trained good for a county member not military, i love to do a 1v1 with them in paintball😉
God is Good Jesus is King Amen Jesus is Lord god is Almighty thank you and God Jesus for giving me every thing Amen .✝ I Believe In The Lord Himself and the Almighty Himself. May The Holy spirit Bless you Amen.
The boom at the start of the video made me go holy sh*t
Yeah same, when I was filming it I had to check my pants after
no fitness requirements for SWAT? The bellies on most of these is shameful.
I guess if they can do the job then they stay but I agree with you anyone who is tasked with saving the lives of others should be mandated to be physically fit.
I’m guessing it’s just “Beer bellies” as long as they’re proficient and can physically endure the training then it’s fine for your belly to be a little bloated
@@DEEZ_N4T look at the last ''entry/breach'' w/e u wanna call it, it was NOT good. reading the building/room is very important especially if you already cleared multiple floors, they acted like they just stepped in
@@PUREHOZER from what I recall there isn’t exactly weight standards but physical fitness standards. If you can run fast, shoot well, crouch, lay down and match all the other team members then technically you can get away with it, but it’s an eyesore to say the least.
@@anglishbookcraft1516 definetly agree that it's an eyesore but st the same time I believe that there should be some mandated fitness requirements for a job of that nature.
I few of these Chester County boys clearly like their donuts…
Not a full time team and there doing this drill in the winter with no heat in the building. Many layers of clothes for some of them
how does someone volunteer to do these types of things it seem like a good experience
Contact your local police and let them know you are interested in serving but being part of drills they may have. That should get the ball rolling

"No, I don't"
Sounds like a skill issue ;)

When the suspect gave up and got on his knees.
They forgot a crucial step of kicking his head in and dislocated his elbow and shoulder while they arrested him.
Rookies
chill it's just training
Police bad🤓
Great movements, @5:26 though one of the guys flashed his buddy behind the riot shield, again the 3rd man in the stack as they were flowing down the wall seemed to have flashed his guy going down the hallway to the left. Overall though great performance
Yep those issues were addressed and this is always a learning environment

Is it just me or the second team looked more professionally equipped? First team had some interesting camo and gear for a police SWAT. Looking like a militia playing milsim
Did not notice that but thanks for watching Hope you liked it
