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, the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, Information and Technological Services and the Records Unit.
This division coordinates functions with the other county law enforcement agencies, the State Police, the FBI, USSS, Customs, INS, and the US Attorney's Office.
