The concept of SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) teams was first developed by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in the 1960s. The initiative was led by Captain Daryl Gates, who recognized the need for a specialized unit to handle high-risk situations, such as hostage rescues and armed confrontations. The first official SWAT team was formed in 1967, and the model has since been adopted by police departments across the United States and around the world.
