Special Response Team

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Special Response Team was begun in April 2007. The establishment of this team is a vital step toward eradication of the widespread and deadly drug problem that envelops our County.  With the prevalence of drug use, gangs, violence, and terrorist activity, there is a high probability that at some point in our lives, one of us will have some type of problem with them, either directly or indirectly. 

Sheriff Harris formed this Special Response Team in an attempt to combat these problems.  The officers participating in the SRT are some of the most talented and hard-working in our County.  The team is lead by Investigator Jeff Bain, and Investigator Jimmy Jones is assistant team leader. 

The SRT undergoes training which consists of building assaults, vehicle assaults, bus assaults, equipment training, and basic team skills.

The team will be instrumental in incidents such as hostage situations, serious school problems, and any other serious business and residential incidents in which the team is needed.
