Before I go on, I know some of you may be like "OMFGWTFBBQ I thought Chase was making SWAT like old SWAT" - well now that's both yes and no. Invitations proved to be a slow and ineffective process. TACTICALLY, we are the old SWAT. No more buffalos and high speed pursuits as I said ages ago. Rank structure is same as well, it's only team and tactics that have changed.
Now that SWAT has detached from SAPD as a independent agency, we are open to ARPD officers as well, but they have to be EXPERIENCED and not a career criminal to join. We aren't leaving SAPD out either, but do note if you choose to join as SAPD, you must be able to assume both roles as SAPD officer and SWAT operative efficiently.
Also, applications will not always be open as we got to do them in waves of 10 per wave.
Also note before applying that SWAT is a ON-CALL type job. Meaning if we call you to duty while you're in game selling ice cream, arresting somebody, or whatever, you MUST report to duty right away. No excuses. So be sure you want this kind of job before applying.
More requirements will be detailed on the application instructions.
So with that said, we welcome anyone to apply, just be sure to read instructions and requirements carefully to increase your chances.
You can apply here: ARPD Divisions (http://arpd.argonathrpg.com/divisions/index.php?board=106.0)
I hope to see those who are interested in the application board soon, and I look forward to a good academy.
Stay frosty!
Signed, Commander Greggor and Team Leader Jack
The development of SWAT has been un-going for the past few months now. Finally, the development of SWAT have completed the required to fill in the criteria.
So to make it more clear, the whole SWAT process and structure is changed from scratch with more opportunities.
I hope this was worth waiting, as the SWAT team has been on development mode during the past few months which means they were semi-operational.
-
Glad to see that there active once more :cop:
-
Its nice to see some positive changes, i specially like the part allowing ARPD officers to join the SWAT force, and also the no more highspeed pursuit thing, that got annoying...
I personally look forward to a good swat team in RS5
-
lol
-
Oh wow, looks like SWAT has changed.
I always said you guys were just a bunch of ignorant posers who only suck up to high ranking SAPD/Admins, but y'know, looks like it's changed. ;)
-
Changes sound solid, like the part about ARPD officers joining. Good idea, hope the implementation will be just as nice. Good luck!

I don't remember sucking up to anyone while I was in SWAT.

Exactly.
Mikal, don't generalize, just because one guy does it, it doesn't mean the whole team will do the same (in theory).

I hope the new SWAT will be better and stronger than ever.
It's quite interesting moving out of the SAPD. Very best of luck.

Looks promising, best of luck.

Go take this to a PM instead of continueing in this topic.

One thing is im glad that your not just accepting apps from SAPD but ARPD as well.
From what I see IG ARPD almost always out #s the SAPD during patrols. With this happening SWAT will be in great #s and will donimate :bow:

Minus the www. part. It's a subdomain, so that will bug the login system's cookies.

The lack of effort and dedication the new SWAT requires. I mean all you do is fill up application and be ingame to be reviewed.
Back in time you had to be literally great at everything on field,in attitude,in discipline,in knowledge to even be considered of being SWAT member. It took usually 5 months from time you join department to get into SWAT,if you had done enough effort in policing to be one.
You were constantly under view of CMD who was observing your actions on field and how do you perform overall and are you capable even do SWAT trainings,not speaking about operations .
At the current SWAT as far I know only Drix is from old SWAT,so he is probably only one to understand what I am talking about.

First of all, even if no application is created we always review those who are apart of law enforcement to see if they fit the division, this is done under strict watch and they must pass high standards before being invited. The application process itself is a hard process even altho the application itself may not look to be one, the reason for that is that we only require applicants to fill basic information in a application as in a further stage they will actually be questioned, reviewed etc.

This still counts, we do not accept every officer who just is active and has joined the SAPD. We only hire the few elite who fit our profile, perform excelent in game and show great attitude.

as said, still counts

pure bullshit, let me remind you that the majority of our staff excists out of Commanders and Team leaders from the past,
such as Marcus_Ferreira, [WS]Mash, [WS]Dolfa, Trane Kiedis, iMarkz, AirOne.Paris etc.
summarized: get your facts straight before posting such a useless comment
-
Not the place for debate.
-
It's ok,you'll going to protect it in any cost as it's your pride,so I won't bring this up to chain of argument,so it will stop from here,however Mash,Marcus,Dolfa,Drix does know what I am speaking about. ;)
As about they ranks you quite missed the shot. In Old SWAT Mash was cadet,Dolfa was cadet,Marcus was operative,Drix was team leader.
-
however Mash,Marcus,Dolfa,Drix does know what I am speaking about. ;)
Lmao
Infact, only people such as Oliver, James Hunter, Adams and others will know what it is to be the Old SWAT.

Let me remind you that the ''old'' SWAT is not coming back, in case you're thinking in that direction - Its upto you to think your own thing of it, however dont start spreading bullshit.

He's spreading his opinion, which he is entitled to if I'm correct.

He is, but if its nonsense and based on made up facts, its a different story.

Interesting, good luck.

The OLD SWAT were liked by people on Argonath, but it was not effective.
SRU / SRU-SWAT were hated by people on Argonath, but it was the most effective team I've seen on Argo.
The SWAT that came after SRU were neutral on both sides, hated by some, someone liked them, but not as bad as the old SWAT, still not as effective as SRU / SRU-SWAT
Things are always gonna change, someone are gonna like how it works, some are gonna hate it. You simply have to deal with it.
The the current leaders of SWAT; Stop giving a shit about what the haters say and do it your own way, thats how its gonna be the most effective, dont respond to them and you will be a few steps ahead of them. You should also concider getting rid of some people and get new ones into SWAT, even if they attitude is shitty, it can get better if they get the change to join you.

This topic is not about what you think about SA:MP's SWAT group. Take it to PM or contact the leaders directly in the appropriate place. You are all bumping this with off-topic comments.

Are you a moderator of this board?
If you haven't noticed, this topic is called "SWAT Status", people are also entitled to talk about SWAT. No one is arguing here, no one is fighting, so everything looks perfect. If you are trying to provoke flame and/or off-topic by such silly claims, begone.

I'm sorry, but I said no such thing. You're the one here talking nonsense, because I never ever said ANYTHING about "very old" (sounds more appropriate) SWAT except for implying it was the best, the funniest times. Quit provoking.

Paul, I suggest you lock this topic since people can't contain themselves.

Sure. People seem to be much more jealous about it since they never managed to succeed and triumph in their old team, hence why they are expressing their angriness here.
Let me make myself clear here; it was Gandalf's decision. So if your willing to shit around on this, your shitting on his ideolgy.
