Welcome to the Illinois Detachment of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms' (ATF) Special Response Team (SRT), recognized as the most elite tactical unit. Our unit selectively accepts only the best, and we uphold uncompromising standards of character. Being a member of the SRT is a prestigious honor that every officer should take pride in. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) outlined here are steadfast directives from our commanding officers, non-negotiable and inviolable.

The SRT is entrusted with executing high-risk warrants beyond the scope of regular police departments, collaborating seamlessly with other tactical units such as SWAT and Delta Force. Our responsibilities extend to conducting raids targeting illegal substances, including narcotics, as well as illegal firearms or explosives. Any breach of our unit's principles or SOPs will not be tolerated
