Balloon took the words out of my mouth XD.
HRT Should be in command during any hostage situation, but only for negotiating. Once those are complete, then I think HRT & the tac teams should push in.
HRT is supposed to be trained to handle hostages so I've never really understood why we always kicked them to the side to let "TAC" units handle them.
Doing it this way though, doesn't put a TAC team behind a paywall, it mainly puts a hostage negotiator behind one but that would only be when HRT is active.
