Section 1:
Background information on SWAT:

The special weapons and tactics concept originated in the late 1960s as a result
of several sniping incidents against civilians and police officers around the
country. Many of these incidents occurred in Los Angeles during and after the
Watts Riot. Upon critical examination of how each incident was managed by
police, the leadership of the LAPD realized that an effective response to these
dangerous situations was virtually non-existent. Officer John Nelson presented
the special weapons and tactics concept to a young inspector by the name of
Darryl F. Gates. Inspector Gates concurred and approved the concept of a small
group of highly disciplined officers utilizing special weapons and tactics to cope
with these unusual and difficult attacks.
