3.0: Use of Force

3.1 - The Use of Force continuum is what all Law Enforcement Officers use to determine how to deal with a situation. The continuum is as follows (The top being the least, the bottom being the most):

- Verbal Commands - SWAT officers may use their voice if they are in range to command a suspect to comply and follow very careful orders in order for the force to be de-escalated. SWAT officers may warn civilians to leave or surrender if within vocal range. If a SWAT officer is disobeyed they may immediately rise to non-lethal force if the suspect isn't clearly armed.

- Hand to Hand - SWAT officers may initially engage in a situation with their body, whether it's tackling or grappling a suspect, in order to detain if the situation calls for it, especially if the situation is indoors and there's very little space to move.

- Non/Less Lethal - SWAT officers may initially engage in a situation with their non-lethal tools If the situation already demands this level of response. This force can also be used If a suspect is ignoring lawful commands. SWAT may use tasers, flashbangs, pepper spray, and other non-lethal devices with the objective being to detain the suspect or stop them from fleeing or resisting arrest.

- Warning Shots - S.W.A.T is authorized to use warning shots on suspects by shooting at areas with the intention to not cause lethal damage to civilians or suspects, if the suspects are out of range of non-lethal, or have already been previously warned to vacate a scene, or surrender to the police.

- Lethal Force - SWAT may use lethal force on any armed suspect based on the SWAT officer's discretion. A suspect is considered armed if they possess a deadly weapon or firearm, including but not limited to vehicles and melee weapons if used in a way that harms or threatens civilians or officers. Any suspect assisting another suspect that a SWAT officer has used lethal force on can be attacked with lethal force.

4.0: Medical Attention.

4.1 - When force is used at a scene, SWAT must prioritize the scene's security first before tending to or treating a suspect or officers if they are in need of medical attention. While doing so SWAT may need to move bodies to a more secure location if it is safe to do so.

5.0: Discipline

5.1 - S.W.A.T Is the most strict and highly demanding division of San Andres law enforcement. Officers in S.W.A.T can be removed and adjusted in rank at any point for any reason by SWAT command. Officers that aren’t up to standard whether on regular patrol or in swat gear can be removed or suspended from swat indefinitely according to SWAT command discretion.
