Other incidents requiring specialized weapons, tactics or equipment
As with all services offered by the county police, the SRT:
- Is available to all law enforcement agencies in the county
- Trains regularly in order to remain proficient with their skills for their response duties
- Cross-trains with tactical response teams of other departments - an integral component of regular training
- Assists in developing, coordinating and participating in multi-jurisdictional special, response-team training initiatives throughout the county
The SRT is supported by a Counter Sniper/Marksman Team that consists of marksmen/observers, whose primary function is to augment the Special Response Team. The CST provides:
- Real time intelligence in critical situations through observation of the premises using specialized optical devices.
- Cover and operational support to SRT officers and other special response personnel as they mobilize during a deployment
