Most SWAT assignments are collateral, meaning that the officer continues to work at his regular job until and unless the SWAT team is called out. There might be weeks or months between callouts. The officer will work additional hours while training, and there may be incentive pay (possibly 3-5% of the officer's usual pay) for being on the SWAT team. Other than the extra overtime for training and callouts and the incentive pay, SWAT officers make the same money as other LE officers in their agency.
