| | Kettering Police Department: Special Response Team |
 | | The Kettering Police Department Special Response Team was formed in 1978 in response to a growing need for specialized skills to deal with extraordinary situations like barricade suspects, high risk warrant service, dignitary protection, hostage rescue, and active shooter situations, among others. |
 | | Team members must undergo a rigorous selection process which includes a structured oral interview, physical performance test, firearms exercise, and psychological screening. |
 | | Team members also receive individual and group training from nationally renowned organizations such as NTOA, LAPD, Miami PD, H and K, IACP, FBI, and other specialized units. |
