but I dont think it should be a high ranked officer. I mean ... high ranked officers should stay in the SAPD, as they are good police officers and do good RP, but SWAT must be leaded by a really skilled cop, who is responsible and can do the stuff ...
James, stop it, ur going the wrong way all the way. I didn't said it haven't be studied, but by your agressive answer it can definitely give me the following thoughts :
1- You cannot control yourself
2- You didn't understood my post
3- You didn't answered it, you went through some related event through which another force could come over.
4- You freely forwarded some alternative reality postulates
So I'll set the things clear :
1- The old swat had a VERY good leader, it wasn't some random guys going around with m4 and shooting randomly, they were part of ARPD, were well trained and the leader was a sergeant if i'm not too wrong or he was higher. They were planning useful strikes, not only maintaining the peace as you say at gas station number 9.
2-A code 30 doesn't require a Swat assistance, it require a few cops and that's it. If they are 30 people at gas station number 9 and you send a swat unit, all you get is a shootout, if you send a few squad cars and they work together as an anti-riot team, you can control any group easily.
3- Swat a rapid action deployment force ? You got to be kidding right ?! No seriously, the first people to arrive at a scene when something goes wrong, it's conventionnal cops. Swat are only firsts when it's a planned strike on a defined suspect. Usualy a swat unit, when needed, takes about 30 minutes in the US, 25-55 minutes in europe depending of the country, time of year, time of day and so on. So no, I don't see it as rapid.
4- How did you studied that `? Seriously ? Who said they had m4 ? Yourself, which show that you didn't studied alot of things. They were highly trained cops, they trained, of what some told me about 2 months ago, about 2 times a week, which is more than acceptable considering the limits of this, as being a videogame, and even real Swat train 2-4 days a week. In the army, we had the special security forces training two times a week, two hours, which mean 4 hours a week.
5- Blowing gas station isn't a crime, it's a rulebreaking on server, so if you see someone doing it, report it to us by doing /report id reason please, thanks
6- I don't know if you can manage it or not, I'm not answering to you, I'm answering to your arguments, but actualy if you get the job, then you should be promoted to captain, it's logic. But to be fully effective, you need someone with experience and leadership, which actuals captains do have and due to the fact that Swat doesn't require 100% of the time a cop spend on-duty, he still have time to manage his guys.
7- (And finaly) Due to actual server limitations, constant crashes, massive arrival of dmers, it would be hard to keep a fully fonctionnal team. Time will probably solve the question, but if you come with let say H&K and open fire on some suspects, then, they will come and more will come and all what will happen will be some dming (Domino theory) and hardcore dming. Swat, if created at this very moment, should try to strike mafias/criminal groups/drug dealers instead of people rioting. An anti-riot group is composed by regular cops and is often a massive group of cops, not a small elite commando who come with mp5 and tell : Ok guys we are swat, put your hands up or we blow your head (Extreme demonstration, do not take that last sentence seriously, but almost) ...
So if you want to maximize your chances, prepare a file, a really strong one, that will study the real necessity, the real objectives, reasons, theories and such. You must take in consideration that the server have it's limits, that the actual situation is not the one of the good old days where everyone knew each others and that there was some kind of roleplay going on, now the time is for alot of dming, and the old players swim through the massive dmers troops in order to find some roleplay and try to protect what they created ...
With all of this, we sincerly hope that you will achieve to find the real optic in which should SWAT evolve and that it will help you to bring some good ideas to SAPD and to the whole Argonath.
Good luck,
Best regard

Gas Station 9 - you will need a trained unit to disperse the civilians and restore order to that area when there are multiple suspects and the gas station is repeteadly being blown up.You don't remeber what u said ? And also - insulting ? I am not insulting you in any way, I am just saying that you should improve your cop RP a little, you are doing good, exept for the moment that you are ramming other officers and driving reckless from time to time ...
These are my ideas and ARE NOT officalI agree, also I would like to see someone choose quockly (1-3 mins) the SWAT team needed to do the job,maybe all awesome/great cops will do the mission that is needed,all that matters is the mission,and the SWAT members that are doing it,so the mission will matter the most,not really formations,altough it would come in handy for groups of suspects all organized,but thats the FBIs job to tkae care of organized crime,so we will see in the future :/
I personally would see SWAT as a team withing SAPD that has had specialist training that is only called upon when required, they would have access to various loadouts and would know what to pick for certain situations. This team is effectively on call 24/7 but would NOT be expected actually patrol as swat 24/7 just as anormal officer. This fits in with the nature of the server as there are not too many occasions when SWAT would actually be required and if required a senoir officer (likely Capts and above). If no senoir officers present the highest rank SWAT would have to make a decision.
Access would be very hard and would from the best and by invitation only.
Much of the specialist training would reflect what has been mentioned before but would also go into methods of delivery.
How I would see the Argonath version
Special Limited access, not a 'regular' unit, only for certain types of situations where normal police are not suited to handle
Weapons Access weapons that woudl otherwise make the job expensive, and that may not be available otherwise
And
Tactics All the different Trained methods of carry out to make handling of situations easier.
