Introducing 'Law Enforcement Insignia & Heraldry' collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing convergent media paintings featuring insignia and heraldry of various law enforcement departments. Here you will find pieces featuring California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation: CDCR SERT - Special Emergency Response Team Patch over American Flag.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is responsible for the operation of the California state prison and parole systems. Its headquarters are in Sacramento. CDCR is the 3rd largest law enforcement in the United States. Within the CDC emergency situations, and high-risk special assignments are handled by a highly trained specialist unit known as the Special Emergency Response Team, or SERT. Every level II through IV facility is required to maintain a SERT. SERTs are used in situations when regular institutional forces are unable to maintain or regain control of a situation, or when the situation is of such a high-risk, that the SERT's specialized skills and equipment are deemed useful. When employed, a SERTs primary responsibility is "To save lives and protect property".
SERT teams are composed of volunteer personnel, who when not training or activated, are assigned to regular full-time correctional duty assignments. Team size varies from institution to institution (12-21 members) depending on the size of the facility, its location, the institution's security level, inmate population, and the response time of addtional support units. All SERT personnel are on 24 hour standby to be recalled to their assigned institution, or to any other institution needing assistance.
SERTs can trace their origins to the loosely organized tactical teams formed during the sixty's and seventy's to deal with disturbances within CDC facilities. These teams had no formalized training, structure, equipment or standardized operating procedures (SOPs). In 1982 the Director authorized a an assessment to study the Departments ability to respond to disturbances within CDC facilities. Upon completion of the assessment the Director recommended the establishment of a Disturbance Control Program with in the CDC. SERTs were a major component of the new program, and in May 1983 the department conducted its first formalized SERT training academy, with official authorization and funding being granted by the Governor and state Legislator in July of 1984.
SERT personnel have participated in a wide verity of operations over the years, including the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (CAMP), and the CAMP Reconnaissance and Arrest Team (C-RAT)-C-RAT programs. The Soledad Correctional Facility SERT provided security for the Pope during his 1988 visit to Monterey. During the Los Angeles riots in April of 1992, 23 SERT personnel deployed to Departmental parole and community correction facilities assist parole staff in returning inmates to custody. SERT teams have also assisted several local agencies with hostage and/or barricaded suspect incident.
