You're a cop, trying to get a spot on the SWAT team. You don't need to give them the I dont want to work 8-5 stuff... you're already a cop they know that. You need to tell them why you want to be on their team. Is it because you've always wanted to have a bigger impact on the big situations? Is it because you enjoy the team work and you want to evolve further in your career? Is it because you want to get off the road twice a month to train?Comment

Tell them:
"I hate Sleeping."
"There is way too much room in my trunk."
"I need to squat on a fire escape in the rain more often."
M-11“All men dream...... But not equally..
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find it is vanity;
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible.....â€

That seems like a pretty good answer. Whatever you do don't slam your current assignment. Unless you are applying for a full time SWAT position most SWAT officers work in their primary assignment with SWAT as a collateral. I've heard a ton of stories of people who had various problems in patrol answer oral board questions by saying they would be totally dedicated to their SWAT assignment in spite of their problems with their primary job.Comment

Spin the words your own way, but tell them the you are aware of what SWAT does and this excites you. Being part of a specialized team is your goal.
Be prepared to let them know that you understand the impact the assignent will have on your family, and both you and your family are willing to accept this.
Good LuckComment

As a member of a State SWAT team, focus on team work. Being a cop is one thing, but being a member of a tight team that works on the team concept and having such a tight team bond that you trust your team members without question...that's where it is at."In God we trust, all others we run NCIC"Comment
