Training |
| |
Currently SERT trains twice a month, which is the standard set by the National |
| |
Tactical Officer's Association. Each member of the team has a specific duty that |
| |
requires additional specialty training (entry team, sniper team, gas cadre, stealth |
| |
search cadre, tactical medic). Also, every year the team attends a one week |
| |
training evolution at Camp Ethan Allen, VT to build on their tactical skills, |
| |
marksmanship and team unity. Members of the team have also trained with |
| |
LAPD SWAT and the team regularly participates in SWAT competitions. |
| |
Continous repetitive training keeps all SERT operators fluid and sharp and ready |
| |
to answer the call when a crisis arises. |
| |
|
| |
Exeter currently has two officers assigned to the SERT Team: Sgt. Steven Bolduc |
| |
as an operator and Sgt. Michael Munck as a crisis negotiator. |
