It is the policy of this department to establish and maintain a police tactical component consisting of a Special Response Team (SRT) of highly trained and skilled individuals to be used in response to specific critical, high-risk and potentially dangerous occurrences. Pampa Police Department's Special Response Team (SRT) consists of 7 Police Officers who provide specialized services that are above what normal patrol can handle. The main goal of the SRT is to provide protection and safety for innocent civilians and police personnel at high-risk incidents.

The Special Response Team was formed in September 1999. Each member of the team has attended SWAT training, as well as various specialty schools to increase their skills, knowledge and abilities. Pampa Police Department has provided each member with the highest quality weaponry and equipment necessary and essential to safely perform their job task. Since formed, the Special Response Team has executed several narcotic search warrants and was responsible for the seizure of several weapons, narcotics, and U.S. currency. Pampa Police SRT has also created a network agreement with the top 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle to assist if tactical team response is needed. The SRT responds to a variety of situations such as Barricaded Suspects, Hostage Situations, Dignitary Protection, Civil Disturbance, Search & Arrest Warrants, Armed Suspect, Narcotics Warrants and Anti-Terrorism.
