Strategic Response Team

It is the policy of this department to establish and maintain a police tactical component consisting of a Strategic Response Team (SRT) of highly trained and skilled individuals to be used in response to specific critical, high-risk and potentially dangerous occurrences. The Tomball Police Department’s Strategic Response Team (SRT) consists of 7 Police Officers who provide specialized services in support of the Tomball Police Department's mission. The main goal of the SRT is to provide protection and safety for innocent civilians and police personnel at high-risk incidents.

The Strategic Response Team was formed in September 2003. Each member of the team has attended two rigorous SWAT schools, as well as various specialty schools to increase their skills, knowledge and abilities. The Tomball Police Department has provided each member with the highest quality weaponry and equipment necessary and essential to safely perform their job task. In 2005, the Strategic Response Team executed several narcotic search warrants and was responsible for the seizure of several weapons, narcotics, and U.S. currency. The team has also created a network with other tactical units throughout the region. This networking showed to be effective as 36 tactical police officers maintained a perimeter to preserve peace during the KKK Rally that came to Tomball. The SRT responds to a variety of situations such as Barricaded Suspects, Hostage Situations, Dignitary Protection, Civil Disturbance, Search & Arrest Warrants, Armed Suspect, Narcotics Warrants and Anti-Terrorism.
