Franklin Police Department S.W.A.T. Team

The City of Franklin Police Department utilizes a part-time S.W.A.T. Team (Specialized Weapons And Tactics). The SWAT Team  is a multi-jurisdictional team, consisting of members from the Franklin Police Department, the Village of Greendale Police Department, and the Village of Hales Corners Police Department. The combined resources of personnel and equipment from this unified multi-jurisdictional SWAT team are invaluable to provide resolution to high-risk incidents when they occur in any of the three jurisdictions.

SWAT Team members are recruited, selected, trained, equipped, and assigned to resolve critical incidents involving a threat to public safety, which would otherwise exceed the capabilities of traditional law enforcement first responders and/or investigative units. The members of this unified multi-jurisdictional SWAT team attend a 40-hour basic SWAT course when appointed to the team, and an additional 100 hours of dynamic and realistic training every year, so that they are prepared for real-life operations. Four members of the SWAT Team are appointed as snipers and receive advanced training. Snipers are deployed for observation on almost all missions. Snipers undergo rigorous outdoor training and are held to strict accuracy standards.
