Description
This comprehensive one-day Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course provides law enforcement officers with the knowledge, confidence, and hands-on skills necessary to manage life-threatening injuries in hostile and dynamic environments. Developed specifically for law enforcement operations, the program emphasizes practical medical interventions that can be immediately applied while maintaining officer safety and tactical awareness.
Through realistic, scenario-based training, participants will learn to rapidly assess injured victims, prioritize life-threatening conditions, and provide effective medical treatment under stressful conditions. Officers will develop proficiency in controlling massive hemorrhage, managing penetrating trauma, performing patient movement and evacuation techniques, and selecting the appropriate medical equipment for operational use.
The course includes extensive hands-on practical exercises covering tourniquet application, wound packing, chest seal application, rapid patient assessment, casualty movement, and tactical evacuation techniques. Participants will also learn how to effectively integrate lifesaving medical care into law enforcement operations while balancing tactical priorities and scene safety.
Upon successful completion, participants will earn Stop the Bleed® certification and leave with the practical skills necessary to provide immediate lifesaving care to fellow officers, victims, or themselves when every second counts and advanced medical care is still minutes away.
