Information About

Special Emergency Response Team




The Special Emergency Response Team ('''SERT''') was the RCMP Counter-terrorism unit which existed until 1993 . Its duties were then taken over by the Canadian Armed Forces in the form of JTF-2 .

SERT was disbanded, reportedly, due to problems the officers had resolving the necessity to kill versus their desire to protect and save lives. Homever, the RCMP still maintains a Special Operations unit called the Emergency Response Team .

JTF-2 now uses SERT's former training base near Ottawa .
