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.
