Question
is SWAT goverment job?

Answer
Mohamed,

 SWAT is a job specialty job within a Police Department or Sheriff's Department. To qualify you must be a sworn Police Officer in the Department and almost have spent time working on the road prior. Almost all decent size City, County, State and Federal agency's have some sort of SWAT unit. So Departments call it by different names.
