By definition, it would seem that SWAT officers are more likely to be involved in a shooting than the average beat cop, simply because their presence on the scene means that it has already escalated to a level of at least potential if not actual violence requiring their intervention.

TAM, I'll go along with all but this. Might be different in Scottsdale, but these days every 5-man suburban PD has a SWAT team. Plenty of instances where they have used the SWAT guys for situations such as apprehending a non-violent warrant violator. Maybe they need the practice, but it often results in unwarranted force, and sometimes doesn't end well.
