SWAT (Bangladesh)

SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) is an elite tactical unit of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Bangladesh. They operate under the Detective Branch of DMP. Eventually, the newly formed DMP unit SWAT is going to be expanded outwards forming one or more battalions. The force would remain as a part of the police force.

There are many members currently in the team and posted in Dhaka, but they can be called up for any emergency to anywhere.

The SWAT will go for action whenever existing law enforcing agencies even the elite force of Bangladesh Police Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) would fail to deal with the criminal groups or any criminal. The members of this team equipped with sophisticated weapons will act as 'quick response' and conduct 'risky' operations in Dhaka City and even outside if requires. This is a special wing of the Detective Branch, will work under direct control of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner.

The team will be more powerful than the elite police unit Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), especially since "This new force has been created especially to recover illegal arms and arrest the hardcore terrorists," said the DMP Commissioner Nayeem Ahmed.

S.W.A.T. (soundtrack)

S.W.A.T. is the soundtrack score for the 2003 action film S.W.A.T., based on the 1970s TV series of the same name, composed by Elliot Goldenthal.

The score

It is generally viewed as being another surprise project for Goldenthal, being that he usually gravitates towards more "intellectual" and "arthouse" type movies. Although he has done a few "commercial" action movie type scores in the past, the decision to score S.W.A.T. was nevertheless interesting, and Goldenthal has developed a reputation for choosing unlikely projects, if anything, for the sheer fun of it. In choosing to compose the score for S.W.A.T., Goldenthal -- some have said -- had played the "Media Ventures" (now known as Remote Control Productions) composers at their own game and won; creating an original, intense, yet complex and diverse score.
