SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) Unit
The Aventura Police Department currently has a ten-man SWAT Unit and Command vehicle to handle those tactical operations which may be outside the scope of normal patrol activities. Of those members, there is a SWAT medic, one sniper, and two team leaders. A K9 unit is designated to assist the Unit with barricaded subjects. Each team member undergoes an initial two-week training school which is both physically and mentally demanding before being assigned to the team. Once assigned to the team, the members train on a monthly basis to hone their skills with weapons and tactics. The Aventura Police Department is a multi-agency SWAT Unit which works in conjunction with the North Miami Beach Police Department's Special Response Team.
