Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) is the Police Tactical Group of the Queensland Police, Australia. SERT is part of the ''Specialist Response Branch'' within the Operations Support Command which incorporates the Explosive Operations Response Team (Bomb Squad) and the Negotiator Coordination Unit.〔(Operations Support Command ). Queensland Police Service.〕 This command was formed in August 2008 removing these units from the Specialist Services Branch. The Specialist Response Branch was born within Operations Support Command. ==History== In mid-1966, Jack Pizzey, then Minister for Education and Police, instructed the Commissioner of Police to form a Police Emergency Squad. Hand picked Queensland officers completed specialised training with the New South Wales Police Forces similarly named unit and became operational in 1968.〔http://mypolice.qld.gov.au/museum/2014/04/29/vault-spring-hill-siege-1976/〕 Initially, the Squad included 33 men, handpicked and trained in tactics to apprehend armed offenders in siege situations, hijacking of aircraft and counter-terrorism.〔 In 1987, the Emergency Squad was divided into sub-units and renamed the Tactical Response Group (TRG). In 1989 the Tactical Response team, a part of the TRG became a separate unit – the Special Weapons and Operations Squad known as SWOS. In 1992, SWOS was further re-organised into its current form and renamed Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) .〔〔http://www.police.qld.gov.au/Resources/Internet/join/documents/LR_SERT_160709.pdf S.E.R.T Special Emergency Response Team. Queensland Police Service.〕 Prior to 1992 the unit was part-time made up of officers drawn from other areas of the Police and performing tactical duties as required. Since 1992 the unit is a full-time dedicated police tactical unit and is now known as the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT).〔 In April 2011, SERT took delivery of their first Lenco BearCat armoured vehicle〔(19 April 2011).
