Snipers are needed in law enforcement and the military. If there is a hostage situation, a sniper could have a clear shot to take out the hostage taker if the situation warrants that. Likewise, police snipers can take out gunmen such as snipers and spree shooters from a safe distance away.

In the military, you would need snipers to take out specific targets. Obviously, you need someone with excellent skills, since you want to pick off some of the opponent's good marksmen without drawing too much attention to your platoon's presence. You'd want people who can take out threats at a long distance off.
