Our take on Police Quest: SWAT
Its focus on SWAT training and mission scenarios narrows the range of situations on offer: the experience centers on tactical encounters rather than a wider set of police duties.

Police Quest: SWAT puts players in the role of a trainee joining a SWAT team.
The workflow begins with instruction in SWAT tactics and target practice, then moves into missions across multiple scenarios.
