The Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit of the Harrisonburg Police Department is a multi-talented unit able to respond to almost any type of incident, from a barricade to a high-risk warrant. The members of this team are full-time officers or investigators who train together regularly to maintain their proficiency. Selection to this unit is highly competitive and is a sought-after assignment. HPD and HFD form a Drone and Robot Unit, which is a valuable tool during critical incidents, giving commanders the vital information necessary for a positive outcome during a SWAT and Crisis Negotiations incident.
