GIGN VS SWAT | ELITE POLICE NIO520

GIGN (Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale) English: National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) is the elite police tactical unit of the French National Gendarmerie. Its missions include counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, surveillance of national threats, protection of government officials, and targeting organized crime.
GIGN was established in 1973 following the Munich massacre, created initially as a relatively small tactical unit specialized in sensitive hostage situations. It has since grown into a larger force with expanded responsibilities and capabilities.

FBI Special Weapons and Tactics Teams are specialized part-time tactical teams (SWAT) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI maintains SWAT teams at each of its 56 field offices throughout the country. Each team is composed of a varying number of certified SWAT operators, dependent on office size and funding.
