An asset we hope to never use......

“The purpose for creating the UNCC SWAT Team is to protect the community and prevent the loss of life,” said Lieutenant Josh Huffman of Campus Police. “We must be prepared to respond to high risk situations such as those tragedies that occurred at Virginia Tech and Columbine.”

Comprised of 13 officers, or SWAT Operators as they’re referred to, these men were chosen specifically for their distinctive qualities. None of them were simply appointed to their positions; they had to earn them. Each member had to show high levels of marksmanship and proficiency with each assigned weapon, attend numerous training schools and be able to respond to any unforeseen emergency at any time.

“The UNC Charlotte SWAT Team is a core group of officers that are specially trained with specific skills in the areas of marksmanship, tactical response specific to our university and crisis negotiations,” said Police Chief Jeff Baker. “The purpose and intent of the UNC Charlotte PD SWAT is to serve as a specialized, flexible and mobile unit, activated to assist in the containment, de escalation and control of situations beyond the capabilities of patrol operations.”

Each of these 13 men have attended specialized SWAT training in Salemburg, NC and are certified by the North Carolina Justice Academy. The academy has produced thousands of criminal justice personnel across the state. There these men train under its Tactical and Traffic Center where they are taught not only academically but practically in “real world” settings.

so men specifically trained to be emotionally disturbed (according to PMPs take on those ready to kill), yet are out to prevent the loss of life.

I predict serious mission creep within a year, especially with these words in the article.....

“Recent SWAT training has focused on building searches, high risk vehicle takedowns and downed person rescues,” Huffman said. “Over the summer the SWAT team utilized the now abandoned Phase 3 Apartments, Smurf Village, to practice building entry and breaching techniques. Training that involves the use of live firearms is often conducted at CMPD’s firing range.”

That would be difficult. It's a commuter college.
