Obviously the OP isn't really talking about the SAU being Social Workers, at least I would hope not, but is rather trying to make a very specific point and TBH I agree with that point .

In this case though SAU is actually the equivalent of SWAT so it makes sense why the SAU handled this specific scenario.

"Special Assignments Unit


​SAU

​More commonly known as “SWAT." Those assigned to this unit serve search warrants and handle barricade situations. In addition to use of special tactics, they have specialized negotiators assigned to the unit. "

SWAT= special weapons and tactics.
pretty far from SAU in a lateral sense.


talking someone off a ledge opposed to/apprehension of a violent perp.
