U.S. Law Enforcement Task Force and SWAT Unit Acronyms |
Below you will find an alphabetical listing
of acronyms used to identify a wide variety
of various police and law enforcement task
forces, special police units, as well as
other groups working to make communities
safer in the United States.
While certain "insider" acronyms and lingo
are used and recognized almost exclusively
within law enforcement, others have gained
wider acceptance and entered the vernacular
of the general public.
NOTE: Not all of the groups listed below
are still active, while others may have
taken on new monikers. As a result of the
rough economy and shrinking budgets, a
number of task forces, SWAT teams, and
K-9 units have been forced to downsize,
disband, or merge with other nearby teams.
Be aware that some of these abbreviations
and acronyms may have completely different
meanings in different locales. If no
location is offered for a task force or
group, this usually means it exists in
several locations across the United States.
PUNCTUATION NOTE: We're cognizant of the fact
that some of the organizations listed below
fail to use proper punctuation in their names.
Rather than correcting this, we present their
names as they normally refer to themselves.
