History of SWAT and its rise in US policing
The LAPD helped create SWAT in 1968 amid 1960s upheaval, with Gates promoting Special Weapons and Tactics. Key cases in 1969 and 1974 solidified its role, while a 1974-78 era TV show popularized the concept. Today about 1,200 U.S. SWAT teams exist, with roughly 90 percent of calls ending without gunfire.
