Police Quest: SWAT, alternatively known as Daryl F. Gates' Police Quest: SWAT or Police Quest 5: SWAT, is a 1995 graphic adventure educational video game developed and published by Sierra On-Line for DOS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS. It is the fifth installment in the Police Quest series and the first installment in the SWAT subseries. The game follows a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Metropolitan Division SWAT team as they train to handle high-risk criminal incidents across Los Angeles.
Police Quest: SWAT received negative reviews from critics, but was a commercial success, with sales of over 1 million units by March 2000. A sequel, Police Quest: SWAT 2, was released in 1998. The game has since been re-released digitally through GOG.com and Steam.
