The '''SWAT Team''' ('''Special Weapons and Tactics''') is a law-enforcement agency in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] that first appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], and was carried over to every game up to [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. In all games they are the second ones to appear once the player has reached a [[Wanted Level|four-star]] wanted level.

Once the player is chased by them they will chase the player in their [[Enforcer|vans]]. They will also deploy spike strips to slow the player down. They will be deployed out of the [[Police Maverick|helicopters]] by means of grappling, but only four at a time. Only in GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories will they attack the player while stationed in a roadblock. They are also well armored. Their vans are heavy, and are just a little slower than the [[Police Car]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
 
*SWAT Teams always seem to aim for the player's tires and blow them out, making it extremely difficult to escape.
*In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] there are several missions where SWAT team members use [[SMG]]s instead of Micro Uzis. However, the actual SWAT members that pursue players when they have wanted levels use Micro Uzis and the [[SMG]] was saved for the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]].

*Despite wearing helmets, SWAT Officers will die instantly if the player shoots them in the head.
*The dialogue in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas suggests that the SWAT Officers are quite unprofessional. This is reinforced when the officers make quotes such as "Ouch, rope burning my hands", when they are roping from a chopper.
*Despite being an elite unit, SWAT Officers in GTA San Andreas hold their weapons sideways when firing, similar to that of the gang members in the game.
