SWAT raid
Tactical team assault
A SWAT raid is a forcible entry operation conducted by a Special Weapons and Tactics team, typically involving armed officers breaching a building to execute a warrant or respond to a crisis.
These raids often happen at dawn with battering rams, flash grenades, and shouted commands: The SWAT raid turned up nothing but a terrified family.
The tactic has drawn criticism for its use in low-risk situations.
