SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4) – The Salt Lake City Police Dept. (SLCPD) SWAT Team was called to the scene after a Kearns man barricaded himself inside his home overnight.

Well, it's not unheard of that a SWAT from somewhere else would be working out in Unified PD jurisdiction.
But at the end of the story, there was this tidbit:
The SLCPD Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) is a specialty unit within the department responsible for combating violent crime, by identifying and apprehending violent criminals and fugitives. This unit works under the SLCPD Special Operations Division but also works closely with the Investigations, Patrol and Data and Research divisions to identify and direct targeted enforcement of hot spot areas and areas of rising violent crime.

OK, until now, I have not heard of VCAT from SLCPD. I have heard of VFAST (Violent Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team) and JCAT (Joint Criminal Apprehension Team) which are multi-agency teams operated by the US Marshall's office.
