What do the rank and file think of Hollywood's depiction of SWAT, from the TV series in the 1970s whose song was a top 40 hit to the 2003 movie starring Samuel Jackson and Colin Farrell?
The adviser to that recent movie was one of our retired guys, Randy Walker. He's an old friend of mine, a retired SWAT officer. But the TV and movie depictions of SWAT are more entertainment than reality.
Do you think the incident this week will change the way the SWAT team goes about its business?
I would hope and expect that the public will support the special weapons team and the department in this instance. But from a historical perspective, most of the major engagements involving SWAT have resulted in improvements in capabilities and tactics. After the 1997 North Hollywood shootout, for example, the department adopted semiautomatic rifles for the officers as well as bullet-resistant panels in the patrol car doors for the black-and-whites. These kinds of things we do to try to protect ourselves so we can better protect the community. When you have a major tragic event like the one that happened this week, changes do emerge.
