What are the characteristics of Security Response Teams (SRTs)?

• A. Large, multi-agency teams with flexible roles
• B. Single-person patrols with no coordination
• C. Non-operational ceremonial duties only
• D. Response elements, consist of two SF members, observe assigned resources, provide immediate response to alarms

Answer: (D)

Security Response Teams are compact, rapid-response units designed to handle alarms and incidents immediately. They typically consist of two SF members who observe the resources assigned to them and can move quickly to address alarms as soon as they occur. The two-person team provides mutual support, clear communication, and quicker decision-making, allowing for an immediate assessment of the situation and rapid actions to protect assets or restrain threats. This setup emphasizes fast, coordinated response rather than large-scale, multi-agency collaboration or non-operational duties. It also isn’t a lone patrol with no coordination, nor a ceremonial or non-operational function.
