HISTORY OF AMERICA’S SWAT OPERATOR INSIGNIA^©

In 1993, members of a suburban Detroit SWAT Team were dissatisfied with their current SWAT emblem and set out to craft a new emblem that they believed embodied the spirit and mission of a law enforcement tactical team. These officers were inspired by the U.S. Navy SEALs and their hard earned and treasured, Trident insignia. The result of this inspiration was an idea that eventually became what is now known as America’s SWAT Operator Insignia^©.

In 1997, CMI began marketing and selling this insignia. CMI was the driving force behind its national and international commercialization. Eventually, the owner of the SWAT Eagle^© logo sold the design and all of its intellectual property rights (past, present and future) to CMI. We thank those officers who came up with the symbol, the owner of the design and copyright for allowing CMI to buy the rights to the mark, and of course, the U.S. Navy SEALs for being the role models that ultimately inspired America’s SWAT Operator Insignia^©.
