SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) is an elite paramilitary tactical unit of many law-enforcement agencies. In the Grand Theft Auto series they first appeared in Grand Theft Auto 2,  and they appeared in every game up to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In these games they are the second Law Enforcement Unit to appear once the player has reached a three-star wanted level.

With black sunglasses and turquoise coloured clothing. Their vests are blue and the helmets have "POLICE" printed on the front. SWAT Team members in GTA III wield Micro-Uzis.

SWAT officers in GTA: Vice City wear dark blue clothing with a tactical vest and kneepads. They also have a blue helmet and a mask covering their face. SWAT Team members in GTA: Vice City wield the Uzi 9mm.

They will also deploy spike strips to slow the player down. They will be deployed out of the helicopters by means of grappling, but only four at a time. Only in GTA VCS will they attack the player while stationed in a roadblock. They are also well armored. Their vans are heavy, and are just a little slower than the Police Car.

  • The dialogue in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas suggests that the SWAT Officers are quite unprofessional. This is reinforced when the officers make quotes such as "Ouch, rope burning my hands", when they are roping from a chopper.
