SERT stands for Special Emergency Response Team.
SERT is what cities besides Portland, Oregon call a SWAT team.

Portlander 1: "It's what Portland calls a SWAT team. Have you forgotten about all of the eco-flowerpower-hippies that run this city?"
Portlander 2: "Oh yeah, I forgot, sorry." *Puts on thick rimmed glasses and heads to Starbucks.*
