As for SWAT themselves, no they do not patrol unless there's a crisis such as the president issuing a lockdown, or a terrorist attack or a gun battle where police are overwhelmed.

For the argument of "I saw a call on the radio where guys had guns" that is invalid because remember not all police requests are real. However there are police codes and plans to where SWAT would be put on standby, but not officially called until a police officer can confirm the heavy firepower and call for backup.

So to put it together, SWAT are the guys that come when the police can't handle it. They do not go in first, the officer does unless they require help or the president/sergeant or person in charge deems it necessary for them to intervene. For example if the cops are getting gunned down and its obvious that there's a direct threat I would not have any issues personally with SWAT voluntarily assisting. 

Note I'm not an admin so I wouldn't take what I'm saying to heart on the server, however I use to be a super admin so I hope it helps bud.

Major departments have full time tact teams, but a city like EvoCity wouldn't have one in my opinion. In the two counties where I live and work, with a combined population of ~1 million, there are only three tactical teams. None of them are full time. Both sheriff departments have one and there is a regional one consisting of officers from multiple departments. The only readily available tactical units are officers in the departments that are certified SWAT operators and they are patrolling until they get a call out.

I understand your point however I still have to disagree, mainly being that it's not exactly the size of the department but the funding they receive. It's rather fair to say that the Evo City PD have a lot of crime to handle, as well as a lot of tickets and fines to hand out. With higher crime rates comes a stronger necessity for a better equipped police force. Thus, higher budgets and funding are given to them to keep said peace.

But don't you think a better equipped police force would be patrol officers having access to SWAT equipment on the fly? Instead of having to call in SWAT, which may or may not be there.
