So it sounds like
a) there are more SWAT teams than incidents that need them, so they're being sent to incidents that don't need them
b) nobody who can do anything about it gives a shit that these teams can't ratchet down to the new incidents they are being given.
Proposed solution: every 2nd or 3rd SWAT deployment goes to the house of someone in their chain of command, or a member of another team. The team members never know if they are on a fake deployment or a real one. The chain of command AND the team starts caring about how the team deals with little old ladies and dogs because they might belong to someone important. And if someone thinks that constantly being on incidents that don't require them to be on a hair trigger and kill things is dulling their edge, maybe they'll stop deploying them to incidents that don't require hair trigger killing.
