This one is Law Enforcement only.

The LEO class is a combination of our TacMed Level 1 with some of the TacMed Level 2 range drills added in. You can attend our Level 1 and 2 and get the exact same info and do the exact same range drills. Additionally you will get more topics/skills covered in the classroom and double the reps on the range by attending the two levels separately.

The next Level 1 is scheduled for March 30th, Level 2 is April 19th.

when i went through paramedic school during clinicals with the fire department one of the medics there was on the local swat as their medic (not in omaha), if i would have stayed working at a paramedic that would have been something i would have tried to do as well.

i might suggest a class similar to PHTLS, what a blast that class was, emergency cric's, our instrcutor brought in a car we rolled it over and had people getting in, extracting them etc.
intubation obstacle courses and more.

this was the most fun training i ever went trough, although i guess a lot of that stuff wouldn't need to be taught to us normal off the streets guys now..... so it would have to be "dumbed down" a little bit

We just had our PHTLS recert last week. And your right, it is a very fun class. Basically our TacMed 1 and 2 are a combination of PHTLS (pre hospital trauma life support) and TCCC (tactical combat casualty care) after taking out the stuff that wont apply to the regular guy/gal on the street and adding some advanced shooting drills.

If your interested in were EMS is headed check out the PHTLS web page. Go to the TCCC page and read the Hartford consensus 1 and 2 as well as the Guide for Active Shooter and Mass Casualty Incidents.
http://www.naemt.org/education/TCCC/tccc.aspx

They are recommendations for the better integration of LE and EMS at scenes that involve violence. Getting the cops the training and equipment they need to immediately treat life threatening bleeding, and getting EMS the equipment and training they need to get them into the "warm" zones faster to begin victim evacuation, advanced assessments, treatment and transport.

These changes will represent a major shift in mindset for many pre hospital care providers. But we must evolve as the threat has evolved if we are really going to make a difference and give victims of these types of crimes the best chance for survival.
