Question
what is the hourly salary for a swat officer?

Answer
Shawn,


Thanks for the question.

It depends on what their annual salary is.

There are some instances where SWAT officers get a premium pay over their base salary because of the training requirements and the potential hazards of the position.

The wages can vary from agency to agency, state to state, and anywhere in between.


Good luck and best wishes!
