The Sacramento County Sheriff’s SWAT team is identified as the Special Enforcement Detail (SED). The mi ssion of SED is to fulfill the need of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Depar tment to provide a highly trai ned, specially equipped, flexible unit to respond to emergency situations with out disrupting the normal operations of the Departmen t. The role of SED is to neu tralize hazardous situations by using time, team work, specialized equipment and e ffective tactics. Through periodic needs assessments, the Special Enforcement Det ail will determine the type and extent of S WAT missions and operations a ppropriate to the agency. These include but are not limited to:  High risk arrest and search warrants  Contain and callout operations  Barricaded subjects  Active shooters  Hostage rescue  Linear assaults  Executive and Dignitary Prote ction / Security Operations  Response to WMD and Terrorists Incidents  Counterterrorism / Count er sniper operations  Mobile suspect interdict ions / Vehicle takedowns  High risk open area searches  Rescues / Officer down / Evacuations  Suicide Intervention Field & Investigative Services Page 2 of 10 6/01.1 (New 9/13)  Covert surveillance  Explosive breaching  SWAT / K9 integration (SKIDDS)  Tactical Emergency M edical Support (TEMS)  Airborne Operations  Specialty tactics  Less than lethal capabilities  Covert Investigative Operations  Conduct Long and Short Term Criminal Investigations  Directed Enforcement Operations Targeting Patterns of Violence II.
