S.W.A.T. is an American action-crime television series centered on an elite Special Weapons and Tactics unit of the Los Angeles Police Department. The team is led by Lt. Dan “Hondo” Harrelson (Steve Forrest), a seasoned commander responsible for coordinating high-risk operations. Key members include Sgt. David “Deacon” Kay (Rod Perry), the unit’s steady second-in-command; Officer Jim Street (Robert Urich), a skilled but impulsive young officer; and Officer Dominic Luca (Mark Shera), a sharp-witted tactical specialist. The team handles high-risk situations beyond the scope of regular patrol officers, including armed robberies, hostage crises, gang violence, and domestic terrorism. Episodes typically focus on tactical planning, coordinated raids, and split-second decision-making, while also exploring the personal pressures faced by officers working in such a dangerous role. The series was notable for its gritty, realistic tone and emphasis on teamwork rather than a single hero. Although it ran for only two seasons, S.W.A.T. left a lasting cultural impact, particularly through its iconic theme music and portrayal of modern, specialized police units.
