In March of 2000, Sheriff Conway formed the Rapid Response Team as part of his emergency response plan for the Detention Center.  The team is responsible for handling any emergency situation in the jail and is being utilized more frequently as the inmate population rises.  Since its inception, the team was named National Champions in the Tactical Team competition in Moundsville, West Virginia.  This year the team placed second in the overall competition in Orlando, Florida.  Way to go!  Team members are called out on an as needed basis and have other duties they perform full-time.
