The Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) is a special response unit consisting of a maximum of twelve specially trained Corrections Deputies. The mission of CIRT is to ensure the safety and security of the facility during high-risk situations that cannot be handled safely by staff on-hand. The CIRT team has been trained in a variety of tactics that include: the use of less lethal munitions, high risk cell extractions, room clearing techniques, and riot suppression. When needed, CIRT can respond to critical incidents within the facility and safely bring the situation under control.
