NAEMT TECC LEO

NAEMT TECC LEO

The 2^nd edition of NAEMT’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) LEO course designed for law enforcement, executive protection, security personnel, and other non-EMS first responders.  Many Fire Departments fall into this category.  Forward-thinking civilians perform well in this course.  The 8hr course covers the exact same material as longer provider course, only condensed for the appropriate level of response.

The course presents the three phases of tactical care and integrates first responder nomenclature:

• Hot Zone/Direct Threat Care that is rendered while under attack or in adverse conditions.
• Warm Zone/Indirect Threat Care that is rendered while the threat has been suppressed but may resurface at any point.
• Cold Zone/Evacuation Care that is rendered while the casualty is being evacuated from the incident site.

This course combines the principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), as well as Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS).  Although each of these courses address different situations, everyone is trained the exact same way for:

• Hemorrhage control including immediate action drills for tourniquet application throughout the course;
• Complete coverage of the MARCH assessment;
• Strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments;
• Techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety with limited resources;
• A final, mass-casualty/active shooter event simulation.

*Participants will earn a 4yr NAEMT TECC LEO certification as well as 8hr CAPCE credit

Although Strategic Trauma Solutions does not currently offer TCOLE credit, the curriculum is most often approved by many TCOLE instructors

NAEMT’s TECC course is endorsed by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, is consistent with the current guidelines established by the Committee on TECC (Co-TECC), and meets all of the updated National Tactical Emergency Medical Support Competency Domains. This course is accredited by CAPCE for 16 hours of continuing education credit, and recognized by NREMT.

NAEMT is a recognized education partner of the Co-TECC. The Co-TECC establishes guidelines for the provision of prehospital care to injured patients during a tactical incident. The Co-TECC neither creates curriculum for the prehospital provider, nor does it endorse the curriculum of other organizations.
