Unfortunately, there will be situations where the normal beat cops might not have the training nor gear to handle effectively like hostage situations or other armed crisis.
And to bring every single police officer up to the level that they can all perform SWAT duties might not be a cost-effective solution, both in terms of the limited manpower pool (SWAT officers are typically not Officer Donuts) and the cost to supply and train all of the officers.

I'd honestly like to see policing organised by militia not the government
Better every time
