The History of SWAT.
Within the world of special forces, a unique place is held by Police Tactical Units. A specialized unit within a police force, they more often resemble tactically equipped soldiers rather than a normal street police officer. These units are trained to handle situations beyond the capabilities of standard police departments. Using military grade weaponry and equipment, these tactical units are able to tackle counterterrorism operations, hostage situations, dangerous search and arrest warrants, and other dangerous situations that are threatening public order.

@@scarface2877 bruh what
The Black Panther situation is entirely misrepresented here. The group were attacked by the police who were forcefully trying to evict them. You should do a video or make an edit. Cause this was police brutality. The police even tried to cover it up. So video or an edit would really help showing people what really happened.
It should be mentioned that the Black Panther shootout was provoked by the police. Due to political and racial reasons ( which was very common at the time ) the police was forcing the people inside the house saying they are there to evict them even though they paid rent. Intimidation tactics and threats by the police soon lead to provocation of violence started by the police who later trying to cover it up by using their nails to create holes only one confirmed shot by the Black Panthers. This was discovered on a investigation. The SWATs wounded several of them for being in a civil rights movement.
Both the FBI and police under the leadership of J.Edgar Hoover were battling civil rights groups.
This raid wasn’t covered by the NEWS since it was a common sight at the time.
Note this is covered by historians and has hard evidence such as investigation reports. You can also search it up. I can’t post any links unfortunately cause youtube deletes them.
6:47 is that the M4A1 from Call Of Duty 4?
(Never Forget 9/11🇺🇸🕊✝️)(7:16)
A small correction would be:
GSG9 is not just a "regular" SWAT team. They are the tier-1 domestic counter-terrorism unit of Germany which most closely resembles a mix between the FBI HRT (due to being the federal polices tactical team) and the SAS (due to their equipment and training).
The regular SWAT teams in Germany are called SEK (Spezialeinsatzkommando)
So, that would make them closer to Delta Force than a SWAT team?
GSG9 is a federal law enforcement unit that has special forces training and can and has deployed overseas to deal with situations.
GSG9 would basically be German ST-6
Aether of the North, well Delta was created in 1977, GSG-9 in 72, so maybe Delta is like them.
@@ethanor They helped with training when Delta Force was founded in 1977. And probably still train with each other regularly. So yes; there is some significant overlap in both units capabilities and training.
But there are also important differences. Mainly due to Delta being a military unit and GSG9 being a civilian/police unit. Which for instance grants GSG9 non-combatant status if deployed in foreign countries. Or causes GSG9 to put much more emphasis on taking any perpetrators alive, even if that means a higher risk.
My father is retired swat from Seattle in the late 90s and early 2000s. The stories he tells me could be written down in a book and made into a movie. Thing is, I know that every single one of them is true to a fault.

So he is why so many drug dealers are murdered?

Big thanks to the old Swat games such as:
Police Quest: Swat
Police Quest: Swat 2
For having extensive info on the history and tactics of D-Platoon. Very Memorable games.
Swat 3: Close Quarters Battle
Swat 4
Two solid games that take the fight to first person. Swat 3 was the last Swat game that is based around D-Platoon before S4 focused on the fictional side of America.
Now, we have Ready Or Not to keep the spirit of 3 and 4 alive. Even saw a few nods to it in this video.

Never thought that I'd be learning so much about the history of SWAT units today. But yet here I am and I'm thankful for Simple History doing great stuff like this.
The AR-15 platform was preferred over the MP5 because is more flexible (more accessories, range/weight/caliber performance are more balanced), not because "the 9mm has low stopping power". With double tapping and modern ammunition the 9mm is still extremely valid.
I would rather have a MP5 in a CQB situation especially in a building
@@skramzgod they have AR pistols and I imagine a police force will have no problem getting NFA qualifications.
@@skramzgod you're able to create an AR-15 with the exact same length of an MP5
it IS a problem about stopping power and penetration at that point, i'd rather have a 5.56 rifle than a 9mm submachine gun
@@contor7 it’s just the rate of fire difference for me, and low recoil. plus the mp5 is actually compact, and it takes only a second and a half to put 20+ 9mm in a general area with one, but yeah stopping power is at a loss
@@skramzgod a HK MP5 RPM is around 800
an M4 RPM is anywhere from 750 to 900
the M4 is superior in every regard compared to the MP5
A few years ago I talked to a gentleman who was one of the first swat members of the city of Miami PD. One thing that I remember was their first SMGs where Resing submachineguns from wwii

@@scarface2877 lmao
@@scarface2877 wow a funny bot
Thats such an odd gun to have compared to an M1 carbine. Maybe its because of ammunition capacity for a surplus M1 only having 15 rounds, but it was still the .45 caliber and is probably easier to control compared to a full-auto reising
There was also the North Hollywood shootout in 1997 that brought LAPD SWAT back into the limelight, due to their procurement/commandeering of weaponry capable of defeating improvised heavy body armor capable of stopping low-velocity rounds from shotguns and handguns (what most police were armed with on the scene).
Err, yeah, you're talking about the shootout with two men dressed in heavy armor wielding light machine guns and tons of ammo?
The police and SWAT literally looted gun stores nearby, completely smashing windows and "acquiring" the shops firearms. When they finally killed one and immobilized the other for arrest (after both sides shot several thousand rounds, was pretty gnarly) they didn't compensate for the ammo used, property damage, and missing guns (some were returned but they didn't provide any form of compensation)
Those stores who got their guns back would display the firearms as being used in the N. Hollywood shootout which sold fast.
SWAT showed up at the north holloywood shootout at the last 15 min of it.
@@nexpro6118 If I remember correctly, we're also the ones to take them both out immediately, with the sgt. Swat leader refusing the 2nd gunman's plea to end his life.

Love LAPD SWAT. Those guys are phenomenally trained. Small in number but they’re the only police force that trains with delta force and other special forces
LASD SWAT(SEB) also train with other tiers of special forces and are incredibly well trained, and I do believe they've trained with foreign agencies like Germany's GSG9. I am sure that the LAPD is not the only agency in the US that actively trains with USSOCOM operators. It just happens more often with big departments. Imagine NYPD's counter-terrorism or ESU divisions.
The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team training course is a copy of SFOD-D training but modified due to it’s mission set and like you said, they also train with military special forces.
Love them!?!?
They are babies next to brazilian BOPE
@@gibbon2381 In that they probably kill less actual children?
I was a hostage at a training scenario for the Norwegian variant - Deltagruppen. It was silent for hours until suddenly the power was cut, we heard loud bangs and short bursts of gunfire and 40 seconds later the "terrorist" that was guarding us were "gunned" down and we were freed. You do not mess with these guys!
Scary, but reassuring.
@@justalpha9138 not really, they practice it often in one or maybe a few conditions where it's always the same
@@RealFemale69 Still pretty scary. Flashbangs are no joke
you had to sit in a room for several hours?
@@TheCerealArsonist Mostly. Sometimes the "terrorists" walked around with us, to show us off to the negotiators. After a while we were ziptied to the chair, and they put a bag over our heads.
It's amazing to see how these units came to be and how they operate. I feel safe knowing these groups exist.
Amen
I don't.
They kill, injure and brutalize so many innocent people especially with the war on drugs.
If they stuck to violent crime maybe they'd be legitimate but since they want to bust down someone's door for pot or crack, they ain't so great.
You shouldn't. You're more likely to be killed by the police than any criminal.
You shouldn’t
@@Thesupermachine2000 exactly. See just what happens when someone gets mad at you for beating them at video games. They’re used more often as a force of corruption, intimidation, and civil rights violations. The rich, the politicians, the corporatists all abuse this to-get back at you for slighting them.
Can you do a video on the MP5 submachine gun? It has a really interesting history and a wide range of users.
Ahoy did MP5 video in Iconic Arms, good vid.
I kinda wish more people do talk about the MP5, especially when the weapon has many variants
@@noahboat580I think Forgotten Weapons covered them in great detail.
@@noahboat580 isn't MP5 kinda on the expensive side? Like most HK guns.
I think that's one of the reasons people didn't talk much about it despite its fame. I know for the fact that people much more comfortable talking about something they personally own, so perhaps that's why?
My highschool once had a SWAT team leader who was a student of the school showing his unit tactics and hostage rescue drill during the field days
That was like the very first time I heard a C2 charge going off and having a helicopter flying so low and close to me

Then they gave police officers tanks and the game was over

@@y0h0p38 Here in Brazil we do, it only does not have high explosive rounds, but have everything else
One pretty cool thing is how different SWAT teams can be too. Most are part time, added on top of patrol duties, but LA and Houston have a full time team, that I know of for sure at least.
Houston PD SWAT also has a fully auto FN P90 issued. Always thought that was cool.
Toronto Emergency Task Force (ETF) has 2 full time teams.
Which is why think that the only US SWAT teams comparable to the German SEK are these full-time teams, though even they don't really compare to the GSG9.
I want to give a massive shout out to the London police specialist firearms unit as I was a civilian drinking nearby the location where the 2017 terrorist ramming/stabbing attack happened in London. I was less then half a mile away about to head home from seeing a band when it occurred and it so incredibly scary. I can’t appreciate enough on how professional the armed response teams responded let alone the Met police that evening.
London Bridge?
Oh yeah, SCO19 responded in just 7 minutes through all that London traffic. Very impressive.
Whilst it's appropriate for the cities to separate armed and unarmed officers, I think more rural police units should be routinely armed and trained to speed up response times to emergencies in the rural areas, such as what happened at Dunblane and Cumbria.

You should check out a game called "Ready or Not." It's like a modern version of the SWAT franchises, it's made by Void interactive.
Another notable addition would be the mention of the SWAT also receiving an upgrade in order to combat certain scenarios after the North Hollywood shootout.
0:45 the GIGN is part of the Gendarmerie, which makes them soldiers since the Gendarmerie is considered military, that’s the reason why some of them work and operate outside of french soil. But you could name, in terms of police, the GIPN or RAID.
And the BRI for Paris
@@Mistakes_ to some extent, yeah.
Members of the GIGN are called operators and they are a Special Operations unit for Law Enforcement but also function as a military unit as they've been deployed to Afghanistan in the 2000s during the GWOT to carry out raids so yeah I guess it's a mixture of soldiering and policing.
The FBI also has and is capable of working and operating outside of US soil. But it’s also more common for a “Gendarmerie” to be under the military, it’s just usually how it goes with the way gendarmeries are meant to be set up.

BOPE da uma surra nos dois
For those who don’t know, the 5.56mm bullet is longer and so has more mass than a 9mm. Also packs more powder in the cartridge, as it’s a rifle round.
Not true. A typical 5.56 weighs only 62 grains. A typical 9mm ranges from 112-160 grains depending on the ammo type. The big difference is the speed. A 9mm might fly at about 1300 fps tops, whereas a 5.56 can top 3000 fps. Speed is where the bulk of the energy comes from, not mass.

Althought I do not have a lot of research on the topic, I am pretty sure SWAT does not handle counter terrorism operations, however they might respond to them if they happen to their area just like any other first responder, but I dont think they are sent to take out for example terrorists taking hostages like GIGN would be.

As someone who both is interested in the history and also knowing a few SWAT guys since I was a kid, I got to say this is a very solid history video on the subject. Nice work, I will always appreciate SWAT history.
Interestingly enough here's a treat for some of yall in comment section, the reason it got changed to Special Weapons And Tactics was because they were trying to drive home the concept of SWAT being a life saving organization and not a military force. It kind of worked since in media where a SWAT team is the main focus, the phrase "SWAT is a life saving organization, not a life taking one." is almost always used at some point. From the show/movie SWAT to the Police Quest SWAT video games, you name it.

There are, for example, the JUNGLA Group ("JUNGLA Antinarcotics Companies"), the COPES ("Special Operations Command") and the best special group of the Police, the GRATE ("Anti-Terrorism Group").
The JUNGLA Groups were trained and Formed in their beginnings by the British S.A.S and the North American Green Berets
Hey guys, Love your stuff! Please make another video about the tactics of Swat or famous Swat operations I think all of us would find it fascinating! Keep up the good work!!!
You could check out the MOVE bombing. Where the police bombed a neighborhood in Philadelphia and then instructed the fire fighters to let it burn. They also shot at anyone trying to escape the fire
correction: first swat team was in 1930 when William Ewart Fairbairn and eric sykes created the shanghai municipal police reserve unit in response to the Chinese detachment of the SMP opening fire on anti-imperialist demonstrators. During WW2 they both created commando fighting techniques, which was called defendu or gutter fighting for the british
Wow, sounds pretty interesting, like a prototype of swat teams
I really like this new animation style, this was done very well 👌 great job as always!!!
When it comes to video games about SWAT, Ready or Not is definitely one of the most realistic games out there, the SWAT is well represented. You get access to a fistful of weapon types, as well as non-lethal weapons and gadgets. You communicate with each other through your microphones and you can see each other's bodycam as well. You decide together on which approach you take and learn how to breach and clear effectively. Either you use C4 or shoot the door hinges to gain entry, while being wary of sneaky door traps. Securing the hostages always comes first, so you need to watch your fire. Thanks to Ready or Not, you can experience being part of the SWAT from the luxury of your computer screen.
Great video as always, Simple History! I've learned more because of your videos than at school. P.S., the SAS wasn't named at 0:39, although the SAS is quite well known since the siege of the Iranian embassy in London, 1980.
The SAS aren't a police unit, that's why they weren't mentioned. They are part of the British army as "special forces" instead.
Love the tiny detail of the swat game Ready or Not’s main menu background sound playing at the end of the video, kudos!
*I do highly recommend that you feature a video about the 1st United States [Berdan's] Sharpshooters of the U.S. 'Civil War'.*
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.
It's amazing to see how these units came to be and how they operate. I feel safe knowing these groups exist.
i love that at 4:25 the background is the old Ready or Not Locker room and that Ready or Not is a SWAT sim
8:08 Did anyone else realize about the last guy on the right just... breaking?
people keep saying this, it was intentional. he was holding his uniform for whatever reason. it’s obvious he was meant to stand out being already dressed
Here in the Netherlands we have the DSI (Dienst Speciale Interventies)
Like how the British CTRF don't get a mention yet they are the best trained and best at what they do.
also common in swat the handgun, a ppq or pdp walther (dunno if they adopted pdp yet, same thing just milled for red dot) , fastest trigger reset and still accurate with good recoil mitigation.
Actually, S.W.A.T are a consider as a part of heavily armed enforcers to deal such high risk task that normal police can't do...
Different countries have different naming, and their task role sometimes differently depending the situations...
But still, they have one familiar role:
They are Police, but also Paramilitary (in some country). Their role is eliminate any high threat such as terrorist attacks, hostage rescue, brutal shootout or cases. Their armed arsenals are Mil-Grade issues which gain superior firepower or having a decent force against the terrorists or others cases such as a Former Military units turns criminals shooters. Also have high CQC and Urban combat tactics for deal such high intelligence threats.
Even so, if there's a case that not even S.W.A.T can handle it,then the last resort is the National Army or Special Force to deal it (US are mostly National Guard). These are T1 CT forces and even they capable to call out the Combat vehicles such as APC, IFV, or even MBT if need. Also they have Armed Helicopter for Aerial Support if need.
Interesting video as always.
On a side note the GIGN is a military unit, the french equivalent of the SWAT would be the RAID. SInce the Gendarmerie (which the GIGN comes from) is a branch of the french military.
0:56 add also polish GROM or SPKP
No
GROM is a military unit
11:32 the garand sounds are so good!
not too sure if that was a garand
Really great video! You should do a video on that time SWAT raided an abandoned hospital, known as "Never Lose Hope Hospital".
11:38 Headshot ☠️☠️☠️☠️
2:50 Love that you put the Age Of Empires 4 with the special wood wall that's available only for the Russians
LAPD SWAT is the best of the best. They’re so good that other elite SWAT teams like the FBI HRT train with them. Plus a large amount of their encounters usually end with a peaceful resolution thanks to their negotiation skills.
This really overblows SWATS necessity and effectiveness
How? I think that’s an entirely false statement
@@fisherofman01it is but they have no clue wtf he is talking about since all those things actually happen
great video!! maybe do the same thing as you did with all other units but, instead of WW2 more modern era stuff like the navy seals, GIGN etc
please do a video about the FBI Waco, Texas raid incident
The MOSSBERG 500 series was also popular among swat, I believe the 580 is the semi auto variant, of which you can buy in 410, 20 and 12 gauges respectively, making them ideal for differing combat situations
In our county every patrolman goes to tactical school after their FTO training. When a SWAT calls goes out half of patrol puts on their gear from their trunk and rally on 2 Bearcats by 2 designated drivers and the other half answer calls. A third team is on call from off duty patrol for any second SWAT calls or high risk warrants. Other counties are adopting this approach.
Bro I’ve been watching this channel for A LONG time now and HOLY the animation has changed ALOT.
S specially the guns
I being hope you guys made this video for long time ,I am big fan of swat Great job on the video too I love details!!
Please do a video on the battle of Delville wood. As a South African it would be truly amazing to see our troops remembered on this channel.
Thanks..
12:00 I love how the guy on the right drops his gun XD
The german SWAT i Split into two teams: the SEK, which is comandeered by the central police unit active in the Region /state of the incident, and the GSG 9 which is commandeered by the federal police and can operate in all states, and even outside the german borders.
Oh so it's like the HRT of the FBI.
Some SWAT teams in the U.S. have received backlash from some people in their communities for switching to military camouflage uniforms. Those people claim it makes them more military then police. Personally I don't care what color they where as long as the uniform keeps them safe. I do like the look of the black and blue uniform more sense those are my favorite colors.
Now you know that's from the bleeding heart liberals of the ACLU and yes I do have to say the same thing for Senator Rand Paul who also criticizes the use of military usage in urban streets of America.
A very informative video on the history of S.W.A.T. units.
Once met a man who believed swat and riot police were the same thing
He also then called me a 7 year old for disagreeing with him
Also called me autistic
