In Los Angeles, as famous as the Avenue of Stars, it is the high crime rate there. S.W.A.T came into being under this harsh social background. In the mid-1960s, in order to cope with the increasingly serious violent criminal activities, LAPD began to set up a special police force with quick response, well-trained and well-equipped to deal with major sudden violent activities, so S.W.A.T was born ~ ~! At the beginning of its establishment, the full name of S.W.A.T was called the Special Weapons Attack Team, which is the special weapon attack force. Because this name is too "militarized" and too violent, and it is too blunt to be used in the police force, people have changed S.W.A.T to a more "gentle" and more appropriate name: special weapons tactics. At first, the members of S.W.A.T were all elite police officers selected from the regular police force. They volunteered to join the S.W.A.T and received training from the Marine Corps. Important training subjects are urban street fighting skills and CQB (Close Indoor Fighting) and so on. However, after many experiences in dealing with urban crimes, people find that this kind of training is not good for the police to crack down on criminal violence, but will cause many losses of municipal facilities and private property. Therefore, LAPD began to reform the operational guidelines and training methods of the special police team, aiming at making the special police team more effective in cracking down on criminal activities and protecting the safety of public life and property. While eliminating criminal activities, we should try our best to avoid unnecessary large-scale gun battles and damage to public facilities.

In order to successfully host the Olympic Games, S.W.A.T increased the training intensity of related subjects. Including hostage rescue, physical training, combat coordination and so on. In addition, the bullets used by S.W.A.T in all training have been replaced by live ammunition, so that the players can be as close to actual training as possible. So that the whole team can quickly and effectively improve the overall combat strength. During these short weeks of intensive training, S.W.A.T consumed more ammunition than the total ammunition consumption in the previous year. All these have laid a safe foundation for the success of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
