Whether they are called CERT, PERT, SORT, or dozens of other names, corrections tactical teams all perform the same basic function. They are highly trained, specially selected and equipped units tasked with the tactical resolution of any incident occurring within a correctional environment. These incidents can range from inmate cell searches and forced cell moves, to riots and hostage rescues.
