Description

Combat First Aid-Law Enforcement Combat First Aid has had the honor and privilege of training over 7,000 Law Enforcement Officers, over 1,000 Fire/EMS Providers, as well as hundreds of private citizens. We have over 90 SAVES from students that have taken our course and rendered care on and off duty and saved lives! Course Descriptions: Combat First Aid-Law Enforcement COMBAT FIRST AID is designed specifically for Law Enforcement and is pertinent to both Patrol Officers and SWAT members. SWAT teams by design have safety in numbers, the element of surprise, level III body armor and trained medical personnel attached to the team when deployed to a crisis site. Patrol officers are often dispatched alone to calls for service or on- view crimes of violence without the benefit of enhanced body armor, medical assistance, and immediate back up. The transition time from a traumatic incident to a “safe scene,” (where EMS can safely operate) is critical to whether necessary lifesaving treatment can be administered. This gap in time is often the deciding factor whether an injured person lives or dies. Proper trauma care administered by a Law Enforcement Officer has proven to save lives and offers a mitigation strategy to a problem that has historically been unaddressed. More importantly, it allows the officer to stay in the fight, perform lifesaving self-treatment, if necessary, instead of laying helplessly, bleeding out, waiting for someone to provide medical care. The COMBAT FIRST AID class teaches the Patrol Officer to administer lifesaving treatment to themselves, a fellow officer or a citizen that has sustained a life-threatening injury The class covers the three preventable causes of combat death and the treatment for all three. The training provided by COMBAT FIRST AID is developed from Tactical Combat Causality Care (TCCC) – the most updated curriculum. The TCCC class is specific to trained medical providers, but we have adapted the training, so it is relevant to the Patrol Officer/SWAT Operator and non-medical first responders. All our hands on scenario training exercises emphasize performing lifesaving skills under stress. Each exercise is based upon real life historical events that police officers have encountered some of which, were captured on body camera.
