Tactical Medicine For Law Enforcement
LAW ENFORCEMENT TACTICAL MEDICINE COURSE
Duration: 8 HOURS
Course Director/Lead Instructor: Todd Osugi
Medical Director: Charles J. Gbur Jr, MD
Tuition: $300.00
Course Description:
This training is primarily designed for law enforcement officers who do not have embedded medical personnel assigned to them. Most officers operate to some extent in isolation. If a life-threatening injury occurs, medical help may be minutes away when seconds count. A first aid kit in the patrol car is of little value if it cannot be immediately accessed. The foundation of this course stems from lessons learned on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. We stress self-aid and buddy aid based on the Military’s Tactical Combat Casualty Care course.
Our courses utilize reality based training or "RBT" to stress inoculate officers so that these relatively simple life-saving skills become ingrained into their “muscle memory” (trained response/torque profile) and the responses are instinctive. This is not a course on tactics, but rather tactical decision making and executing life-saving skills that are incorporated into your tactical standard operating procedures.
This course is not your typical classroom training with hours of PowerPoint presentations and lectures. There is an online component designed to familiarize the officers with basic anatomy, physiology, equipment, and techniques. Our training is scenario based force-on-force encounters to provide the most realistic training environment possible utilizing Ultimate Training Munitions™, realist wound moulage, and role players simulating a high-stress events.
