This program covers the concepts and practical application of Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC), as well as Officer-Citizen High Threat Casualty Extraction.  Officers will learn how to treat commonly encountered wound patterns and how to plan and execute a citizen rescue.  Scenario-based exercises will allow each participant to apply critical lifesaving skills in a dynamic patrol-based setting. On completion of the course, each participant will receive a TECC/TCCC approved tourniquet, pressure bandage and chest seals.

Officers are required to bring their duty belt/gear and wear clothing appropriate for physically demanding scenario training.  Due to the hands-on nature of this training, course enrollment will be limited to twenty (20) participants.
