The Tri-County Special Response Team, or SRT started in 2015 with the team comprised of only Clinton County Sheriffs Office organized under the direction of Sheriff Favro. The team changed several years later with Essex and Franklin County Sheriff's Office as well as Ticonderoga and Malone Police Departments.  The team has been developed to support local law enforcement agencies in "special threat" circumstances that require a tactical response to high-risk situations as well as search and rescue operations.  The members of this team receive special training in specialized equipment, weapons and tactics so they are able to be called in for difficult and dangerous situations.
