I. Preface

This guide has been designed to assist the S.W.A.T Unit in


its day-to-day operations. The policies and procedures
described in this manual are set by the S.W.A.T Units Command
and Los Santos Police Department Command and deemed
necessary for proper department operation. When properly
developed and implemented, a policy-procedure manual
provides staff with the information to act decisively,
consistently, and legally. It also promotes confidence and
professional conduct among staff. No exceptions are to be
made to this S.O.P without consent from a member of Police
Department Command
