James, welcome to APB/OR. Your post is a quite vague. Specialized teams have different names, responsibilities, policies and equipment that may all vary by department. You may find numerous answers. While I am not here to do your research for you, I will point you in the right direction.

Since you mentioned books, I suggest going to your college's library. There are other sources that you can cite besides books though.

Check out police departments' websites. You may find some of the information you're looking for there. Contact your local, county or state police departments. You may be able to interview a supervisor for one of those units and he could give you more specific information for that department.

Good luck with your report.

I'll tell you now, you won't find anyone here willing to disclose operating procedures for special response teams. Giving that info out could jeopardize the officers if the wrong people find out.

And no offense meant, but I hope you don't get that info from any other web site either for the above reason.

Same goes for equipment.

As far as admin and selection, officers have a chain of command just like street officers. And at my department, selection is based on our resume, interviews, and test scores. A list is made ranking the candidates, and when an opening comes up, the first officer on the list is offered the position. If they decline for whatever reason, the offer goes to then next officer.

We're not doing your homework for you and we're not discussing tactics and procedures. That will get cops killed.

Anyone who does discuss such issues with you over the internet is a poser and talking out their ass.
