LOL, yup, I see the grenades, nods, tactical night time strike, AC-130 coverage, satellite comms, etc. etc. etc.....
Just like Special Forces and I'm sure they are willing to die for their "hostages", just like Special Forces soldiers......

Isn't that the Coast Guard's area or responsibility ¿

I'm surprised the BLM hasn't requested and received funding for a waterborne team.

That is out of the question - then they wouldn't go home safe that night.

Nice machine guns on those boats and was that a "scout scroll" on the Cpl's bicycle helmet?

MA SWAT teams immune from open record laws?
I'm no fan of the ACLU but this article is a little troubling. Any LEO's out there that can shed light on this, or this complete BS?

Non Profit LEA
Over in PA, we have numerous Regioinal Police agencies, configured as a cost savings. There are also Regional SWAT type units. One that comes to mind is The Central Montgomery County Special Weapons and Tactics (CMSWAT).
http://www.westnorritontwp.org/index.aspx?NID=168
I worked with a guy from this unit, when it was named differently, and I knew the funding came from various sources. There were also private/ civilian donations, due to the Corporate client base in the region. The nuclear plant had some donations, as well.
From an LEO stand point, the chain of command went through the SWAT organization, when called into formation/ duty.
The only thing I can think of as a "corporation" basis, is along the lines of Volunterr Fire Companies. I know many of the VFCs do fund raising, but a large portion comes form the municipalities they service. This opens up the entire Municipal/ County/ State/ Federal funding and grant game.
I always love to see the VFC Chief driving his vehicle hundreds of miles on personal shopping trips with his wife. Yeah, so he can be ready to respond. Sure.
Massachusettes is a Commonwealth, like Pennsylvania, so maybe there is different laws/ rulings as to the formation of the LE Agencies.
The National Tactical Officers Association has a web site and they are VERY active.
http://ntoa.org/site/
Something similair in NY and NJ is the Port Authority of NY/NJ. They are a Corporation, though they have a huge police presence. Their LEOs are certified in NY and NJ. Trying to get information from them is nearly impossible.

HA! I knew it. We're not the only ones plagued with "Airsofters"!
At least we were spared a "commando" airsofter experience.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

It is astounding the reach of DHS has......Jeh Joson can't allocate resources for the border, but his agency has the time and funding to be the Repo Man for the EPA.

STATESVILLE, NC (WBTV) -
When Jennifer Brinkley saw a line of law enforcement vehicles coming up her driveway last Tuesday she didn't know what to think. "I haven't done anything wrong."
The Homeland Security agents were not there to take her away, they were looking for illegally imported Land Rover Defenders. Brinkley had bought one via the internet last year and had invested more than $60,000 into the rare vehicle.

A more intense report on the incident:
Quote:
In another example of how the Department of Homeland Security has expanded far outside the purview of its original function, six vehicles full of DHS agents were required to seize a Land Rover from a couple in Statesville, N.C. due to the fact that the vehicle allegedly violates EPA emission standards.
