SRT Functions

|
The Mission of the Special Response Team (SRT) is to support the Salina Police Department with any high-risk operation that requires special skills or equipment and goes beyond the standard patrol response capability.
|
Examples of situations that, by their potentially violent and/or specialized nature, indicate the need for SRT mobilization:
-
Armed suspect(s) with hostages.
-
Barricaded gunman or suspected barricaded gunman.
-
Service of search warrants on violent or potentially violent suspect(s).
-
Arrest of violent or potentially violent suspect(s).

The SRT is made up of police officers that have undergone intensive, specialized training, including rigorous qualifications. They are highly qualified to respond to high risk, dangerous situations that necessitate more than a routine police response. The SRT is called upon at various times to serve high-risk search and arrest warrants, and to deal with armed and barricaded suspects.
Because the team uses highly sophisticated equipment, ranging from fully automatic weapons to specialized communication devices, the SRT is ready and able to handle the most extreme law enforcement situations. Team members are a very dedicated and professional group of police officers who have made a total commitment to protecting the citizens of Salina.
