There are specialist units in the English Police forces, including teams of firearms officers who attend situations where the public or other officers, are confronted with weapons. To cope with more difficult situations (armed robberies, hostage taking, etc..) a number of the Police Forces have a SWAT-like unit. That unit could be made up of different specialists including Firearms officers.
Like most SWAT teams across the world, members of the unit often have a different role in their everyday routine, such as firearm trainer or Officer Safety trainer.

In FBI SWAT do the agents maintain special agent investigative work in addition to their special weapons and tactics work or is SWAT their new full time job?
There are three levels of tactical teams in the FBI: the Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), the 11+ regional Enhanced SWAT Teams and the field office SWAT teams. The HRT is the national team and a full-time commitment. When they are not deployed, they are training. Every field office has a local SWAT team which is a part-time commitment in addition to the agent's normal investigative duties. The enhanced SWAT teams are somewhere in between, with more training and commitment than the local teams, but still not full time. The agents still have normal case duties.

"Camo" is not the usual uniform for law enforcement SWAT teams but I suppose that in some areas of the country (desert, forested, or mountainous areas) they may have that option, depending on the type of terrain they will be operating in.
