Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the
SWAT Van


What does S.W.A.T. stand for?

S.W.A.T. stands for Special Weapons And Tactics.
S.W.A.T. teams are highly-trained paramilitary squads that operate within many police departments. S.W.A.T. team personnel are trained and equipped to carry out dangerous missions such as rescuing hostages, deterring terrorist attacks, and subduing criminals who are armed beyond the capacity of regular police officers to challenge them. S.W.A.T. teams are brought in to situations that are at or beyond the capabilities of the standard police force in terms of equipment and training.


Where did you get it?

I bought it directly from the city that had used it. They acquired a new S.W.A.T. truck and this van was getting older so it was no longer needed.


What are you going to do with it?

  • I am a storm chaser and this would be great for chasing a few storms.
  • I may bring it to car shows.


    Is it for sale?

    No, I just add to my collection and don't sell any.
