The Kent County Correctional Engagement Response Team was formed in 2002 to handle unruly inmates and assist the line staff in a safer and more coordinated manner.
CERT is a team of highly trained Correctional Officers who specialize
in Self Defense Tactics, Cell Extractions, High Risk Transports and
Riot Control utilizing special equipment and weapons. The team also
assists line staff with the shakedown of cells where the probability
of finding weapons is high. The team averages 45 activations a year
to a variety of incidents.
