Police response to unusual, high risk, or emergency situations often requires specialized units trained and equipped to take effective action.  The SWAT Team of the Neenah Police Department is specially trained and equipped to respond to these types of situations.  Their primary goal is to isolate, contain, control, and resolve high-risk situations as effectively as possible while minimizing the risk to all persons involved. 

The Neenah Police SWAT Team is made up of officers from various parts of the department that volunteer to be part of the team.  These officers understand that much is expected of them and they must maintain a high level of work productivity, physical fitness, shooting ability, and tactical knowledge.  The officers are tested twice a year on their fitness level and must meet or exceed the high standards or they will be removed from the team.
