ESWAT
ESWAT, or Enhanced Special Weapons and Tactics, is a specialized police unit designed to handle high-risk situations that require advanced tactical skills. This unit is often deployed in scenarios such as hostage rescues, counter-terrorism operations, and armed standoffs. ESWAT teams are equipped with specialized training and equipment to ensure public safety and effective resolution of dangerous incidents.
The concept of ESWAT originated from the need for law enforcement agencies to respond more effectively to increasingly complex threats. These teams often collaborate with other units, such as SWAT and Crisis Negotiation Teams, to ensure a comprehensive approach to crisis management.
