Description: In many circumstances, formally trained medical personnel will not or cannot be on the crisis scene immediately to provide casualty care. First responders must be educated and trained in point-of-wounding casualty care techniques to save lives. The course curriculum includes TECC based Self-Aid/Buddy-Aid techniques including hemorrhage control and tourniquets, bandaging, airway management, triaging, casualty collection points, and casualty evacuation methods. The course includes “force-on-force” mass casualty scenarios where the student will not only have to neutralize the threat but also treat the wounded, establish casualty collection points, conduct hasty triage, and integrate responses with EMS/Fire personnel.
Required Equipment: Pen and paper, duty gear, body armor, groin protection, and appropriate clothing for "force-on-force" training (i.e. long sleeve shirt or jacket, gloves, etc)
Officer-issued weapons, both PRIMARY and SECONDARY, are not required for this course. (No Weapons, No Knives, Impact Weapons or Chemical Agents will be allowed in the training area)
A COMPLETE SAFETY CHECK WILL BE DONE PRIOR TO EACH SESSION.
Each officer is responsible for properly securing his or her weapon(s) during the training course. No personal or agency weapon (including impact and less-than-lethal weapons), live ammunition, weapon magazines, or flash bangs are to be on the officer or in the training area (including classroom) at any time during this course.
NOTE* The Watervliet Arsenal has a weapons storage area for use during the training.
NOTE: Seats (20 Police & 10 Fire/EMS) are limited so early registration is encouraged!
