Wish I could reply with the opinion of a LEO, I however do not have the experience of being a LEO to make this kind of call, and my Military background only clouds the issue further, I am,however, interested to see what some real LEOs can contribute.

Just curious, but what is your exact impression of a SWAT team Doug, do you have the "hollywood" notion that they all jump into ONE vehicle and dash to the scene? is it possible that many officers that are on routine patrol in the area have SWAT training,and their gear in their respective patrol vehicles?

after all...it is your world.
