Listen to Sheriff Michael Bouchard on the
Sheriff's Emergency Preparedness Division
The Emergency Response and Preparedness (ERP) Division is a division within the Sheriff's Office. When originally created, it was an expansion of
Oakland County Emergency Management in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The division's primary responsibilities include all Homeland Security initiatives, the Emergency Operations Center, the
Training Unit, the Aviation and Drone Units and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team.
This division coordinates functions with other county law enforcement agencies, the State Police, the FBI, USSS, Customs, INS, and the US Attorney's Office.
