ANNUAL REPORT 2010SWATSpecial tactical needs of the City are provided by Valley SWAT, a regional teamcomprised of six officers and a commander from each of the cities of Tukwila,Renton, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way, and the Port of Seattle Police Department.In 2010, the team responded to over 60 incidents in these jurisdictions. Most ofthese incidents involve the service of high-risk search warrants, usually involvingnarcotics. Other common operations include dignitary protection details, arrests ofdangerous suspects, and responses to barricaded subjects.The team is very fortunate to be well-supported by the agencies they serve. It iswell-equipped and trained, having the benefit of training three days per month withone additional week-long training session per year. Although these 36 officers trainhard and are subject to callout at any time of day, every day of the year, SWAT isnot a full-time job – each of the officers has a primary assignment within their ownagencies, be it as patrol or traffic officers, detectives or the like.Valley SWAT is one of largest teams in the State, and – due to its strong reputation– works closely with many of the other top teams in the region, including theSeattle Police Department SWAT. This interagency camaraderie leads to aneffective exchange of concepts and expertise, making for more effective emergencyresponses and ultimately a safer community for you, the citizens we serve.19
