Program Information:

This 1-day, 8-hour program will provide law enforcement personnel with a basic understanding of initial medical treatment for emergency situations. Through lecture and hands-on exercises, students will learn to identify types of serious injuries and provide basic life saving techniques during the first few critical minutes.  These tactics are useful in treating injuries to fellow officers, victims of crime, and offenders.  Class exercises will involve applications of first aid techniques specific to police officers and discussion of useful and effective equipment available to police officers.
