If there's an active shooter hiding behind a hydrazine tank I would prefer a SWAT team trained in recognizing and handling different types of rocket fuel.

In the military system, this is handled differently, right? We don’t have National Park Service Army who are uniquely prepared to handle the terrain of National Parks. Or Treasury Air Force who protect the movement of large amounts of money.

Why can’t it be federal SWAT w/ Space Proficiency instead of NASA SWAT? Having a bunch of local agencies means they’ll have widely varying levels of training, rules of engagement, and abilities. That’s how you get cops playing dress-up flashbanging babies.

The funding required to train swat teams is high. A course I volunteered at was over a thousand per person not including the costs of sim-munitions, actual munitions, and experts in specific areas. That was the costs before the program decided to hire more trainers instead of utilizing volunteers. Funniest thing was though was how awful SWAT teams were against unprepared volunteers.
