The Critical Incident Response Team (C.I.R.T.) is a highly trained unit of the Chatham-Kent Police Service that deals with situations that involve a high probability of armed resistance. The unit is comprised of a supervisor and 13 constables who are assigned to uniform patrol duties.

C.I.R.T. members are on patrol within the municipality at all times for immediate deployment. The officers are trained in police tactical operations and respond to a variety of different situations such as armed/barricaded or violent person complaints. They are a first response ground search and rescue team for missing persons. The C.I.R.T. members also assist in the execution of high-risk search warrants and security details. The team has specialized training in less lethal methods of resolution and the safety and protection of the public is paramount. The team trains regularly to maintain a high level of expertise in the various critical situations they encounter.
