Just gonna throw my input in here, how about we resolve the problem and just remove the timer from SWAT and then increase the promotion price? It would probably work.

If you don't like general passive RP, encourage the mayor to create some as surely they too get bored after a while sitting in an office.Agreed. +support on these points. Also, to answer what Crap-Head said a few posts up, SWAT are called in as soon as there's gunfire. If a cop hears gunfire in OCRP, he should call in backup, set up a perimeter and wait for the SWAT team to arrive. I think that more rules need to be enforced on SWAT. IRL, SWAT's directive isn't "go in, shoot everything that moves, leave". However, in OCRP it is. SWAT should go in, detain any dangerous people, and leave. Also, the SWAT van can barely make it up the hill at the Nexus garage. Might want to fix that, it seriously lowers reaction time.
Personally, some people get annoyed when I install a totalitarian government as mayor, but I do such to get everyone involved.
Citizens are forced to RP when it comes to Police officers and trying to overcome the mayor.
Police officers are forced to engage with everyone they see.
Riots occur which result in S.W.A.T. and police deployment.
Secret Service must be more on alert for assassination attempts.
Firefighters are more likely to be deployed for car-bombs and fires.
Paramedics are more likely to be deployed for injuries.
Dispatchers have a hell of a time coordinating the government officials.
Tow truck drivers are used more due to stricter laws on parking and speeding.
Buses are used more due to the impounding of vehicles and the need for criminals to keep on the move.
(Yes I do understand the last two situations are less likely, but still possibilities.)
It's not S.W.A.T. that is the problem. It's the mayor for not engaging everyone in events (whether specifically an event such as a parade, or as a government as previously mentioned). That is your problem.
