S.W.A.T.
When you're in trouble, you call the police. When the police are in trouble, they call S.W.A.T.

On ABC
A 1970s action procedural centered on tactical police operations, built on weekly case resolution and ensemble camaraderie rather than psychological depth.
S.W.A.T. is an American action/crime drama series about the adventures of a Special Weapons And Tactics team operating in an unidentified California city. A spin-off of The Rookies, the series aired on ABC from February 1975 to April 1976. Like The Rookies, S.W.A.T. was produced by Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg.
