Abstract
As terrorism and other forms of violence continue to increase in American society, there is a growing need for law enforcement agencies to utilize Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) or Tactical Teams.

This article describes the results of an exploratory study conducted to consider the training needs of SWAT units in North Carolina. A survey was administered to sixty-five law enforcement organizations. Results and implications are discussed.
