This presentation will provide an overview of the tactics utilized by law enforcement over a ten-year time span, which resulted in the death of a law enforcement officer by felonious means. This was a capstone research project that was submitted for the NTOA Command College. The goal of this presentation is to educate attendees on the risks inherent in certain SWAT tactics, the risk vs. reward trade-off, and to provide examples of tactics that have proven effective in keeping officers safe.
