The Regional Intervention and Security Teams (in French: Équipes régionales d'intervention et de sécurité or ÉRIS) are the intervention units of the French prison administration responsible for intervening in the event of scenarios such as terrorism, aggression, prison escapes, etc.) in a prison establishment. They were created on 27 February 2003 in response to incidents that occurred in detention and are attached to each of the nine interregional prison services directorates.
