The SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) of the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) can be considered as one of the very first specialized intervention units. In the late 1960s, in the US, individuals were shooting at civilians and law enforcement with automatic weapons.
First intervention of the LAPD SWAT on 08/12/1969
The first intervention of this SWAT was on December 08, 1969, during the arrest of members of the Black Panthers in their headquarters of Los Angeles in Watts, where during five hours, heavy fire took place against the police officers. 350 police officers were mobilized in addition to the SWAT team.
Los Angeles is also concerned by many cases of this kind. A small unit of 15 police officers was created, also equipped with automatic weapons and equipment to intervene in all kinds of buildings. They were divided into small teams. Their interventions show the interest of specializing these men in all kinds of complex situations.
