Their duties include:

• Hostage rescue • Riot control • Perimeter security against snipers for visiting dignitaries • Providing superior assault firepower in certain situations, e.g. barricaded suspects • Rescuing officers or citizens endangered by gunfire • Counter-terrorist operations • Resolving high-risk situations with a minimum loss of life, injury, or property damage • Resolving situations involving barricaded subjects • Stabilizing situations involving high-risk suicidal subjects • Providing assistance on arrest warrants and search warrants • Providing additional security at special events • Special Training

Such units are often equipped with specialized firearms including ssault rifles, breaching arms, riot control agents, stun grenades, and sniper rifles.
