Special Operations Division
The San Andreas State Police - SRT was established to counter the exacerbating threats posed to the men, women and children of San Andreas. Law enforcement officers (LEOs) now frequently encounter high risk scenarios such as barricaded suspects, high-risk warrants, hostage situations, active shooters, and many other potentially lethal situations that typical duty officers are not sufficiently equipped or trained to deal with. In the pursuit to minimize the lost of life, the San Andreas S.R.T. Unit was formed. The unit has rigorous selection standards pulling operators that have related special operations background and experience in either military or law enforcement. An officer looking to join the unit must first be recommended by their patrol supervisors, take a series of difficult examinations testing the proficiency and tactical skills sets beyond marksmanship & CQC. Logistically, there are currently four separate units composed of 16 active duty SWAT officers, with approximately 10 in reserve for each of these units. Three SRT units are located in Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas, whereas the original and last SRT unit is dispersed among the State Troopers that perform double duties as both patrol and SWAT officers.
