"Send in the SWAT monkey" is not an order US police commanders are accustomed to giving but that could soon change.

The police department at Mesa, Arizona, is examining a proposal to train a capuchin monkey for high-risk police operations.

Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) veteran Sean Truelove has researched the possibility of landing a $US100,000 federal grant to fund a pilot program to train one monkey.

Mr Truelove told a local newspaper the test monkey could be trained to unlock doors and search buildings on command.

"Everybody laughs about it until they really start thinking about it," Mr Truelove told the East Valley Tribune.

"It could change the way we do business."

Major city police departments in the United States use paramilitary SWAT teams for hostage situations and in situations involving heavily armed criminals.

Pretty sweet, and I live about 2 miles from Mesa. Hopefully I'll never see the SWAT monkey coming after me!

I just feel like a person who walks into a room full of people talking about God knows what... Then you leave. Which I am doing now.
