do u have to have experience as a police officer to become a member on the swat team?

[hunter567890]

@rockv123 I do believe you have to be on a Police Department for atleast 1 year and have no negative mark ups your rookie year, plus physical fitness, high scoring tests, etc etc

I could be wrong though, so Id research it more.

@rockv123 yuup i think you have to have like 4 or 5 years of experience haha

[YoungGun66]

You don't always need a degree. If your a veteran you have veteran preference. Feds hire vets. You can also have experience in the field. A degree helps but alot of federal law enforcement will hire veterans with no degree. I know I am one of those people. Cheers.
