The Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council Special Weapons and Tactical (CCRLEC SWAT) Team consists of a group of specially selected officers from various agencies, including the Orleans Police Department. These officers have been highly trained in the use of special weapons and tactics for the purpose of handling high-risk situations requiring training and expertise beyond the capabilities of regular Police Officers.
The SWAT team trains each month to constantly sharpen their skills and abilities. Components of the SWAT Team include less lethal device instructors, entry teams, a Hostage Negotiation Team, sniper teams and dignitary/very important person (VIP) protection team.
