Special Tactics and Rescue Service

Formed by Albert Wesker in early 1996, the Special Tactics and Rescue Service was modeled strongly after the Umbrella Corporation's various S.W.A.T. and Biohazard Control Teams -- to whom Wesker himself is living a double life as both an Umbrella researcher and as an officer of the law. Instead of sheer numbers to equate effectiveness, Wesker searched for only the best and the brightest for his team. As superior to Police Chief Brian Irons in Umbrella's hierarchy, it didn't take much convincing at all to begin recruitment for his team within the Raccoon Police Department.
