* ''[[24]]'' features numerous variations of SWAT teams and federal response units, and CTU has their tactical teams. They generally serve as a [[Redshirt Army]], as the phrase "we're setting up a perimeter" is synonymous with "the badguys are already escaping." When the tactical teams ''do'' manage to contain the badguys, however, the resulting gunfight is usually a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] in favor of the good guys.
* In ''[[The Cape (2010 TV series)|The Cape]]'', the local city's SWAT units are actually [[Private Military Contractors]] that serve as the [[Faceless Goons]] for the [[Mega Corp|Ark Corporation]].

* SWAT teams have appeared from time to time on ''[[Burn Notice]]'', usually forcing Team Westen the additional challenge of avoiding shootouts they can't win.
