Biography
A SWAT (special weapons and tactics) team is an elite tactical unit in various law enforcement agencies. They are trained to perform high-risk operations that fall outside of the abilities of regular officers. SWAT team members' duties include: performing hostage rescues and counter-terrorism operations; serving high risk arrest and search warrants; subduing barricaded suspects; and engaging heavily-armed criminals. SWAT teams are often equipped with specialized firearms including submachine guns, assault rifles, breaching shotguns, riot control agents, stun grenades, and sniper rifles. They have specialized equipment including heavy body armor, ballistic shields, entry tools, armored vehicles, advanced night vision optics, and motion detectors for covertly determining the positions of hostages or hostage takers inside enclosed structures.

The first SWAT team was established by inspector Daryl Gates in the Los Angeles Police Department in 1968. Since then, many American and Canadian police departments, especially in major cities and at the federal and state-levels of government, have established their own elite units under various names; these units, regardless of their official name, are referred to collectively as SWAT teams in colloquial usage.

Biography
The G.I.G.N or the National Gendarmerie Intervention Group, (French Translation: Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale), are the Special Operations counter-terrorism and hostage rescue unit of the French Gendarmerie. Members that belong to the military are also charged with police duties outside urbanised areas. Because of this the GIGN members can be described as enhanced SWAT personnel than to a military unit such as the British Army's Special Air Service. G.I.G.N members are trained to follow police regulations and include negotiation and investigation specialists. The G.I.G.N cross-trains with Germany's G.S.G-9, Spain's G.E.O, Hong Kong's S.D.U, Malaysia's S.A.U, America's S.W.AT, and H.R.T teams. They have seen heavy action against terrorists, organized crime, kidnappings, bank robberies, and other stiuations similar to that.
