So GU1 is theprof00 right about your argument ? I didn't take your argument as send in two beat cops to break down the door first, I assumed (and perhaps incorrectly) you were talking about having one of the officers first on the scene see what they can see.

normal cops shouldnt break down any door, thats not their job, but they should check whats going on. the swat team isnt a normal police unit, they are a special unit for dangerous situations. they should be called by the local police when the situation is too dangerous for the normal police.

How would you define "check what's going on"? I'm not sure in all situations the lost responce time of a dual dispatch of both types of units is worth it...
