Special Weapons and Tactics

The SWAT team is a multi-agency unit consisting of officers from FCPD, Rome Police Department and Floyd County Sheriff’s Office. The primary objective of the team is to resolve all incidents without injury or loss of life. To accomplish this the team is well trained and skilled in the latest tactics and strategies to combat possible threats to our community.

SWAT situations are those events which by their nature are more dangerous or hazardous to officers than the majority of calls for police action and which may constitute or contribute to grave peril to members of the community at large.

These situations include, but are not limited to: hostage situations, barricaded subjects, sniper situations, search and arrest warrants, VIP protection and mutual aid requests from other agencies.
