they have to do lots of difficult duties....<333
There are no specific numbers. Almost all officers that perform SWAT type duties spend most of their time performing regular, everyday police work. When special circumstances require a special response, the SWAT team members are called to perform that- and then go back to regular police work.
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.
SWAT teams.
swat flies, swat bees, swat spit, and aresst peeps.
"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.
No, he does not.
I believe the answer is yes, that the UK does have an equivelant to the US SWAT teams -HOWEVER- I will defer to a UK contributor for a more "official" response.
Some probably do, but in general SWAT teams and police officers use whatever is issued to them by the deparment where they work. In the U.S. every department issues whatever they see fit. Most common are .223 (5.56) and .308
