I disagree, there are very few places in society where SWAT teams are needed or good choices, a SWAT team is basically a professional kill team armed to the teeth with military weapons,
the whole notion of this kind of force (the great expense borne by taxes) is contrary to what police are tasked to do in society,
you may not know it but in Katrina SWAT teams (or the equivalent) were breaking down citizens doors, holding people at gunpoint, taking their weapons by force, with order to shoot to kill if anyone resisted.
If the police are decently armed but not over-armed they tend to be a little less prone to this kind of activity,
the Founding Fathers warned us of the danger of standing armies,
police today with their level of armament represent standing armies, they are centralized, organized, in the chain of command ultimately under the authority of the Commander in Chief
