On February 6, 2008, at the Bellevue Police (and Fire) Training Center (at 1838 116th Ave NE) the King County Sheriff SWAT Team and helicopter, Guardian One, did routine training. With guns in hand and wearing full body-armor, SWAT members repelled from the helicopter with ropes onto a training building which is probably about five stories up. I was about level with the top of the building and about 100 yards away. It was very loud and amazing to see in person.

NOTE: sorry I did not get better shots. I was in the middle of something and did not have time to go down to the training center for a better view (I don't know if they would have let me pass the gate or not). Maybe next time :) SOME PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED ME THINKING I WAS HIDING BEHIND TREES, but I was not. There just happened to be lots of tree in between the training center and the parking-lot I was filming from. Furthermore, I DID NOT TRESPASS any property to videotape this.
Another NOTE: this might be Guardian Two (as one youtuber brought up in the comments) because Guardian One does not have any hoists on it.

By stevennscash [Affiliate User] 1207158754 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveBee, jsk is correct. They have two helicopters... the smaller jet ranger is Guardian 1 and the Huey (the one in the video) is Guardian 2. Same crew... they just swap out helicopters as the need arises.

By DebUSA [Affiliate User] 1202401557 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethat reminded me of watching the Air Force survival school during their training!! way cool.
By unseelieturtle [Affiliate User] 1202394755 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI thought they where being used to clean up I-90.
By caa1000 [Affiliate User] 1202386365 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei agree it doesn't look like their normal patrolling helicopter, but i have received/read two official notifications from bellevue police that "Guardian One" was doing practice that day (one notification is the first link in the description) . . . i'll try to look into that more tho. thanx for pointing that out :)
By AuntBee09 [Affiliate User] 1202380258 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethat is guardian 2 not one guardian one is a smaller helicopter not meant to hold a SWAT team
that is their larger helicopter that they use for search and rescue and SWAT
All of the above!
By rexlv2000 [Affiliate User] 1202342388 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewow, seems like he must have been on drugs or had metal/emotional problems
By AuntBee09 [Affiliate User] 1202341486 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFirst ambulance refused to carry the guy away. True story. They called a special ambulance to carry him away. Noisey man! Neighbors leaning out windows kept saying shut him up! Three in the morn!
By rexlv2000 [Affiliate User] 1202340761 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeoh, what do you mean? like with avalanche control?
By AuntBee09 [Affiliate User] 1202340598 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhy they where not cleaning up I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass?
By caa1000 [Affiliate User] 1202340421 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehahaha, great story. yah, helicopters are actually great for checking on minor things as well as serious ones. like they check on suspicious vehicles, outdoor party complaints (they scare people away with their loud speaking and spot light), and much more! thanx for your comment! :)
By AuntBee09 [Affiliate User] 1202340054 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNice vid. Once I called the police for help and was told all the patrol cars were busy! Dispatcher said may I send you a helicopter? I told them, "Send it!" Five patrol cars piled in shortly thereafter. Poor sap! I did not feel sorry for him.
By rexlv2000 [Affiliate User] 1202339744 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehahaha, no, it's fine to film. i just had a bad view (i talk about it at the bottom of the description). it's OK to film it because it's in view of the public. in fact, the city of bellevue (where this was held) released info about this before hand so people wouldn't get freaked out. thanx for the comment!
By AuntBee09 [Affiliate User] 1202339706 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHow come their was trees in the way kinda like you were hiding. Are you not aloud to be filming it or somthing?
