What Chase said, if you want to patrol, be on SAPD duty, what are you going to do, use special weapons and special tactics on a traffic offender?
Don't see why this skin should be limited to SWAT, considering it's a civilian skin anyway.
Just putting this out there that when SWAT was under my command... I made sure there was no patroling, but rather stand by and be on call to respond to c30s and such.
And looking at this now - I wish I had disputed my "retirement" when it happened. But hey, shit happens.
Ever since we introduced shift briefings, we brought a new approach for our tactical officers to actually join the streets instead of sitting in a room or parking lot waiting for a priority situation or call to come through the radio. This goes as far back as June this year. We don't want to rely on "heavily" equipped officers who are not trained in high priority situations to handle those types of events as that is not the role of a patrol officer. Having them actually out in the field simply aids in response time and shows actual force on the streets. This is nothing new, I'm simply reiterating what we have been doing for the past few months.
And naturally, of course you would not use "special weapons and special tactics on a traffic offender" - we never have, given the situation. The sole purpose of this is to have a better prepared team already out in the field, ready to go should something occur, and to assist in those tricky pursuits involving dangerous subjects. As the members involved in SWAT are actually a part of that division, we want them engaged and active, not getting bored while sitting in a rancher at the HQ parking lot waiting for a buzz on the radio.
Back to the skin itself, we'll see what happens. However
for now, it will remain available to our SWAT personnel for use in what I just explained. Given civilian use for the specific skin, that's not my call.
