Special Operations Response Team : ウィキペディア英語版 | Special Operations Response Team
The US Federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP for short, is a component of the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The BOP is responsible for maintaining the custody of anyone convicted of committing a federal crime. To achieve this goal, the BOP maintains a number of correctional facilities, which are divided into six regions, throughout the US. These facilities house approximately 211,195〔http://bop.gov〕 inmates of varying security levels. Facilities are designated as either minimum, medium, maximum, or the most recent addition, super max. To help maintain security within facilities under its control, the BOP has formed a number of specialized tactical, and emergency response units. Operating under the direct control of the BOPs Office of Emergency Preparedness, these units consist of Special Operations Response Teams, or SORTs; Disturbance Control Teams; and Hostage Negotiation Teams. The Office of Emergency Preparedness was established in May 1990, and is responsible for overseeing the agency’s SORT program, and coordinating emergency response capabilities. It also acts as a liaison office with other agencies during crisis situations. SORTs are highly trained tactical units capable of responding to prison disturbances, and providing assistance to other law enforcement agencies during emergencies. ==Foundation== The first SORT was formed in 1982 at the United States Penitentiary (USP) Leavenworth, Kansas. The team was formed as a response to the increasing level of violence being encountered in facility. A second team came on line shortly afterward at the USP Marion, Illinois. Currently all medium and higher level security facilities are required to maintain a SORT.
