Should there be a discussion of the details coming out about the Uvalde School shooting? Apparently 40% of the local budget was spent on the local police and SWAT force. [1] The local SWAT team, despite training specifically at local schools [2] [3] did not intervene in the shooting. [4] [5] [6] Local police even inhibited Federal SWAT units from responding. [7] Overall it appears to be a situation like the Columbine High School massacre 23 years ago where the SWAT team and their tactics failed respond in a timely manner.
Suspect that I am not alone in seeing this as a watershed event that for the first time really brought to attention the question the actual public safety value of these SWAT teams bring, as seemingly are unable to actually respond when needed. So recommend that this gets added to the page. 98.45.199.13 ( talk) 03:54, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
Uvalde spent 40 percent of its budget on its police force last year.
The purpose of the visits is to familiarize themselves with layouts of our local schools and businesses. S.W.A.T members will be in full tactical uniforms and we did not want the public to be alarmed when seen
Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw said somewhere between 40 minutes and an hour went by between the time Ramos encountered the school security officer and when he was killed by the tactical team that included Border Patrol agents.
Members of the Uvalde Police Department temporarily kept the elite team of Border Patrol commandos who ultimately killed Salvador Ramos from entering Robb Elementary School
There is a section on the weapons used by SWAT teams, but no section about the special tactics used. For example something about the lift technique that is shown in the article (see picture to the right) would be nice. Greetings, -- Qaswed ( talk) 08:47, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
While interesting, the relevance of the riot is not clearly apparent considering that this is an article exclusively about United States law enforcement. It was not handled by US police but rather local security so unless we are expanding the scope of the article to include gendarmerie in general it seems harmless to remove it for consistency reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JSory ( talk • contribs) 09:43, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

What does the federal swat do? 2601:203:C100:E9D0:95BD:BB61:EF97:5B9B ( talk) 04:45, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
As there are other nations with units called SWAT, perhaps rename this SWAT (United States)?
