This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj TREADING THE THIN BLUE LINE: MILITARY SPECIAL-OPERATIONS TRAINED POLICE SWAT TEAMS AND THE CONSTITUTION The increasing use of SWAT teams and paramilitaryforce by local law enforcement has been thefocus of a growingconcern regardingthe heavy-handed exercise of police power. Critics question the constitutionality ofjoint-training between the military and civilian police, as well as the Fourth Amendment considerationsraised by SWAT tactics. This Note examines the history, mission, and continuing needfor police SWAT teams, addressingthe constitutionalissues raisedconcerning training and tactics. It explains how SWATjoint-training with the military is authorized by federal law and concludes that SWAT tactics are constitutionallyacceptable in a majority of situations. Though these tactics are legal andconstitutionally authorized, this Note acknowledges the validfearscritics have regarding the abuse of such police authority, and the limitations of constitutionaltort jurisprudence in adequately redressingresulting injuries. INTRODUCTION Americans awoke on the morning of April 23,2000 to news images seemingly taken from popular counterterrorist adventure movies.

Though some variation is security incident information to identify expected in the number and type of incidents reported because of differences in potential vulnerabilities. Within the rail agency size, location, and ridership, local TSA inspection officials have federal government, TSA is the primary provided rail agencies with inconsistent interpretations of the reporting agency responsible for overseeing and requirement. For example, local TSA officials instructed one rail agency to report enhancing passenger rail security, and all incidents related to individuals struck by trains. However, local TSA officials has several programs to fulfill this responsible for another rail agency said these incidents would not need to be responsibility. In 2008, TSA issued a regulation requiring U.S. passenger rail reported as they are most often suicides with no nexus to terrorism. Providing agencies to report all potential threats guidance to local TSA inspection officials and rail agencies on the types of and significant security concerns to incidents that are to be reported could improve consistency across different TSA TSA, among other things.
