Tactical Medicine (Tac Med)

The purpose of the Tac Med program is to familiarize law enforcement personnel with the skills necessary to support Self aid and Buddy aid within the unit or team. As the violence associated with drug activity and terrorism continues to increase, the ability to have medics trained, qualified, and skilled with this specialized talent is becoming a standard among tactical law enforcement. The Tac Med program is one instructional day and consists of nine hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 18 and the classroom maximum is 24.
