Emergency Response Team


The Emergency Reponse Team (ERT) is a highly trained and dedicated group of officers who respond to incidents that exceed the tactical and technical capability of the initial responding officers. ERT officers are trained in active shooter response, barricaded subject resolution, hostage rescue, and high risk warrant service. The Florham Park ERT has a mutual aid agreement with tactical teams in East Hanover, Madison, and Hanover Twp. The teams train together monthly and share personnel and resources.
