The goal of the Special Response Team (SRT) is to deploy highly trained tactical personnel to the following types of situations:

• Barricaded subjects
• Building searches where there is a high probability of a suspect being inside the building
• Hostage situations
• Service of arrest or search warrants involving an elevated level of risk

Training
Special Response Team officers serve on the team part-time. Selection to the team is voluntary and requires compliance with stringent requirements.

Each member participates in a continuous training program consisting of classroom and practical application in all types of situations. SRT members are also trained to search for missing persons on all types of terrain and under various weather conditions.
