S.E.R.T
The presence of a highly skilled tactical unit inside a correctional institution
has been shown to substantially reduce the risk of injuries or loss of life to inmates
and officers. In recognizing this, the creation of a special response team to manage
critical incidents in the institution was needed. As a result, the Delaware County
Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (S.E.R.T.) was put into place to provide a highly
trained and skilled team to successfully manage critical incidents and assist the
Delaware County Sheriff’s Office or other requesting agencies. S.E.R.T. has also
assisted in our community with helping the Indiana Special Olympics and local food
banks distribution.
