Calgary Police SWAT Responding

A short clip of what I believe to be the Calgary Police Departments SWAT Team responding to what I had hoped to be a training mission. There was another SWAT SUV before this one, but I couldn't pull my camera out in time. This video was taken a LONG time ago, so it's naturally going to be poor quality (this is before I started using the digital camera for videos). Please rate/ comment!

@aumi20 I hate seeing SWAT in any form. lol Back when I was in Elementary, there was a hostage situation a block away. Friend's mom said cops everywhere. We were sent into a lockdown, so I never saw anything.

its not a good thing to mess with the dark suv's they are tac members and if not the big dog in the back likes to chew in arm bones

CPS Tac has about 25 Suburbans and a few Excursions. The Excursions are used less because they don't fit SWAT's needs as well as the Suburbans. Also they have two APC's although one is a former WWII troop carrier and is pretty much useless without wanting to destroy the roads. Thats not even mentioning the two helicopters HAWC 1 and HAWC 2.

@Epscadets The APC? Yes, it is pointless until they need it, then it's the best thing since sliced bread. I've seen two armored "tanks" (possibly the same exact vehicle) driving on the street, but I still don't really see a huge need for them. That's just my opinion based on what I've found, others might see it another way.

@PhoBoStuDios Its pointless until they need it.

i've seen them suiting up at a NW chinese church near Citadel about 2 weeks ago. They had all 3 tinted out suburbans, the armored car and few marked and unmarked cruisers. was 10:50pm and busted a nut and drove by at 10:58 and they were gone.

Another time I saw them suit up at Superstore parking lot on country hills. No armored car.

Another time we were all drunk and my friend went into the street with a BB gun...10-15min later SWAT came running from sides of houses and rushed the house!

Ah. Well that was the only time that I myself have ever seen this vehicle, or any of its kind for that matter. The only other time I saw something about Tactical Police SUV's was a couple days later on the news. I also don't see a point to Calgary's new APC... Kinda pointless in my mind...
