When you need help you call 911. But when deputies need more help who do they call? The Pierce County SWAT Team. Take a look at our Special Weapons and Tactics Team and see the tools they use to help resolve some of the most dangerous situations our deputies come across. The majority of the tools they use are to gain access to buildings, and to cause the suspect to give up peacefully. Things like robots, less lethal rounds and communications tools are utilized by the team to keep them and the suspect safe. The SWAT Team isn’t complete without our Crisis Negotiators. They play a vital role in communication with the suspect and more often than not give critical instructions or are able to convince unwilling suspects to come out and surrender peacefully. #Sherriff #SWAT #Funatwork #Hiringnow #Negotiator
