Course Description

The fate of the wounded rests in the hands of the one that applies the first dressing.

The course content does not require or presume any prior medical training or knowledge. Covering scenarios ranging from street encounters to active shooter incidents, this course is ideal for frontline law enforcement personnel such as patrol officers, rangers, deputies and special agents.
