Rescue Task Force Instructor

PURPOSE OF COURSE: This two-day, 16-hour Instructor course has been designed to train police and fire officers as instructors to teach Rapid Deployment Rescue Task force skill sets. The focus of this program will be to provide officers with the knowledge, specialized tactical skills, and associated printed materials they will need to develop, implement, and teach Rapid Deployment Rescue Task Force End User Courses.

TARGET AUDIENCE: Law Enforcement Rapid Deployment Instructors / Fire Fighter Trainers

CONCEPT: The Concept is that Police Officers and Fire Fighters from the same jurisdiction attend the course together and then return and teach the course as a cohesive unit. This way all first responders in a specific jurisdiction are provided with a comprehensive course and train together for this life saving mission.

COURSE PREREQUISITES: Law Enforcement Students should be Rapid Deployment Instructors. Fire Department Students should be Fire Fighter Trainers.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:   The purpose of this course is to provide police and fire trainers the ability to train their officers to help save the lives of victims during Active Threat events through point-of-wound care under law enforcement protection. The course will help define roles, responsibilities, and operational procedures during a Rescue Task Force deployment into the warm zone.

Police officers and firefighter/paramedics operating in a warm zone rapidly performing critical lifesaving medical procedures under the force protection of law enforcement. The goal is to perform immediate life saving measures and remove the victims from the warm zone as quickly as possible. Once out of the warm zone, more advance life support procedures can be performed, the victims are then triaged and transported to definitive medical care as quickly as possible.
