These troopers, stationed at barracks throughout the state, are specially trained and equipped to respond to a variety of emergency situations.
SERT troopers are skilled in land navigation using compasses and topographical maps.
This allows them to conduct extensive and accurate area searches for missing persons, even in heavily wooded wilderness areas. SERT troopers are also rigorously trained in the latest crowd control techniques and civil disturbance response tactics. SERT troopers are available for immediate deployment anywhere in the Commonwealth at the request of any public safety agency. The unit is under the command of Major Daniel Jamroz and Lieutenant Thomas Curran of the Bureau of Tactical Operations.
