City of Bedford
Program Summary
FY 2019-2020
Fund: SWAT - NETCAST
Department: Police Division: Administration
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Police Department, along with the cities of Hurst, Euless, and Grapevine, combined resources, manpower, administrative tasks, and
equipment to form a regionalized SWAT Team known as the Northeast Tarrant County Area SWAT Team (NETCAST).
Member cities specially train to respond to incidents including, but not limited to: barricaded persons, hostage situations, high-risk
warrant services, and acts of terrorism. These tasks are best accomplished with a small group of highly disciplined officers specifically
trained to deal with such emergencies, utilizing special weapons, tactics, and equipment.
Combining resources into a regionalized team, member cities benefit from economies of scale in SWAT equipment purchases and
overtime allocations.
A fund was created for SWAT-NETCAST during FY2018 to which each of the four participating agencies contribute equally. Qualifying
expenditures are then paid for through the SWAT-NETCAST fund.
