Recognizing that a highly skilled, highly trained police tactical unit would often substantially reduce the risk of injury, and or loss of life in a critical incident, the Tactical Response Team was established in 1998. The mission of the team is to support the Sheriff's Department or any other requesting police agency with a tactical response to a critical incident. These incidents could range from a simple drug search warrant to a barricaded bank robber. The Tactical Response Team is currently under the direction of the Road Patrol Lieutenant who assumes the role of the Tactical Commander during any tactical call out. The team consists of 9 members. Each team member cross trains to maintain proficiency at different positions within the team. The team members have trained in conjunction with the Oakland and Wayne County Sheriff's Department Tactical Teams as well as the East Lansing Police Department's Tactical unit. In order to be selected to this team, an individual must be physically fit, meet rigorous mandatory training requirements, and above all, be a team player. All of the team members have attended basic SWAT training, as well as advanced schools at Ft. Custer in Battle Creek, Michigan and Ft. Leonardwood in St. Robert, Missouri. The members of this unit consider it a privilege and an honor to serve the citizens of Livingston County. |
