TACTICAL MEDICINE:

Officer Down Rescue for Law Enforcement and EMS

CLICK HERE for more information on our most popular class. Similar to the one below this class is open to Law Enforcement, EMS and other personnel. Click here for course FAQs.

Law enforcement officers continue to place themselves in harms way for the protection of the public. Unfortunately, in many of these events, officers find themselves, other officers or innocent victims gravely injured.  Events such as Columbine, Waco and the North Hollywood Bank have changed the way law enforcement looks at First Aid in the field. Medical care often falls to officers on scene because it may not be safe enough for civilian EMS.

Any Law Enforcement or Military Unit wishing to host this course will receive two free seats. There needs to be a minimum of 8 paid participants at least one week prior to the training date. This is an 8 hours course.
