What kind of background do you need to get into SWAT\Special OPS?

If, a person were to be in the military police for 4 and a half years, and a police officer for 2, could they become a swat so?

As an MP you can join Special Reaction Teams or if you were part of USMC security you can join FAST or Recapture Reaction Teams (they use tactics very similar to SWAT though they don't do any law enforcement related stuff.

That would be good, but it depends on the person too. SWAT is often preferred if you were special operations in the military.
One thing that makes SWAT a little different from military special operations is that it's a lot more of how to take out the target without harming others (often hostage situations, or raids which there are civilians around). Most military special operations missions won't have a lot of civilians since that's not what the military targets. So a SWAT operator would be more trained in the small aspects of shooting and moving to keep innocents safe and securing the area, whereas a military combat person would be trained in the larger aspects of hitting the target multiple times and moving on to secure the area etc.

So military can certainly help, but SWAT is a bit different.
