Special Emergency Response Team (SERT)
Since 1988, the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) has proven to be a valuable resource to the Department of Public Safety. The SERT team is utilized for VIP security, during high profile drug buys, serving felony warrants, executing high profile or dangerous search warrants, during hostage or barricaded suspect incidents, during courtroom security on high profile cases, transporting high risk prisoners, and as additional resources during major events such as motorcycle rallies in remote areas of the state.
