SWAT activations: Will we see more as officers serve more warrants?

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – APD’s Tactical Division has had a busy year. There has been 53 callouts so far this year, compared to 29 at this same time last year. “Tactical activations are purely reactive, we’re reacting to events emerging within our community, and responding to the requests of Field Services, personnel and detectives,” said Deputy Commander Ken Willey, who leads APD’s Tactical Division.
