Community
emergency medical services systems in the United States
were developed to respond to the needs of individual
patients in controlled situations. However,
out-of-hospital providers trained for this limited role
have been pressed into service to respond to
increasingly violent incidents in the streets today.
The result has been a greater tactical component in law
enforcement, characterized by prolonged operations,
organized opposing forces, use of military style
weapons, and greater mortality and morbidity among
public safety personnel and citizens.
Providing
out-of-hospital care in the austere environment of a
tactical law enforcement mission requires special judgement and skills not taught in standard EMT
curricula.
The Tactical Medic course is designed to fill the gap in
training which has become more apparent as the violence
associated with drug activity and terrorism continues to
increase. This is accomplished by enhancing the
participants' ability to support a tactical law
enforcement team and survive a violent street encounter.
