OCSD's team on as -needed basis

SWAT i*s about life-saving
The SWAT Team is called when there is a high risk
situation, such as:
Hostage Rescue
Barricaded/armed suspects
High Risk Warrant Service on Dangerous
suspects
Terrorist events
Dignitary Protection
Active Shooters
The special equipment and the tactics developed
from extensive training reduces the risk to officers
and citizens.
In a SWAT call -out, time is
precious!
Getting SWAT officers on -scene and in position can
be critical to the successful resolution of an incident.
The SWAT Team has half the team (15) on-call at all
times with a 30 minute response time.
30 minutes from receiving the page, half the team
and their equipment will be on scene.
Currently, one Tustin team member goes to the
station, attempts to locate a Vehicle that can hold
our equipment, then has to load the equipment
from storage lockers into the vehicle. The officer
then responds to the location. That process alone
can take approx. 30 minutes.

SWAT EQUIPMENT STORAGE
Currently, we have a small secured
storage area with a firearms safe and
three storage lockers for equipment.
Each SWAT officer has a collateral
assignment on the team which requires
additional equipment.
With all the equipment, there is not
enough space to house everyone's
equipment at the same time.
WHY A RAPID DEPLOYMENT
VEHICLE?
An appropriately outfitted vehicle will
securely store SWAT equipment reducing
response times.
The ability to transport all of our SWAT
officers while wearing their gear.
Not having to transfer gear would reduce
the chance of gear being left behind at
the station.

How the Rapid Deployment
Vehicle can be used.
Covertly -with removable (magnetic) markings,
SWAT Officers can be staged inside with a lower
profile for a tactically opportune time to take a
suspect into custody (Trojan horse).
Team delivery -with running boards on the side
numerous SWAT Officers can travel short distances
and deploy rapidly on scene.
Evacuate/transport wounded officers or civilians. A
standard police car is too small to load an injured
person. An ambulance will not go into an area until
there is no longer a threat.
The vehicle could also be used by the Gang and
Investigations Units to transport detectives during
warrant services.
