The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams, known as ALERT, is an umbrella government agency in Alberta, Canada, that unites the efforts of several law enforcement organizations. It was established in 2006, and its campaigns on behalf of the people of Alberta include fighting gang activity, working against drug trafficking and confronting domestic violence. It includes seconded members from the Alberta Sheriffs Branch, the Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat police services and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Its operating budget was reported at over 38 million dollars in 2012, and officers quoted in the press have called its work on high level investigations laudatory. It is recorded here as a criminal justice institution.
