-The nearest equivalents to SWAT in countries other than the United States are the national [[gendarmerie]]s in various countries in [[Europe]], including the [[France|French]] Gendarmerie and the [[Italy|Italian]] [[carabinieri]]. The key difference is that SWAT is a specialized team of police officers or sheriff's deputies trained in military weapons and infantry assault tactics, while still answerable to a local police chief or sheriff. European gendarmeries exist as separate national police forces.
