This course teaches the patrol officer how to administer life saving combat first aid to themselves, a fellow officer, or citizen that has been wounded. Bleeding from a main artery is so rapid and copious that a wounded person can die before help can reach him/her. This class gives the Officer essential tools to treat a life threatening injury until EMS arrives.

"90% of combat deaths occur on the battlefield before the casualty ever reaches a medical treatment facility." -Col. Ron Bellamy

The course provides hands on scenarios with realistic wounds and practical applications so that the officer/deputy can confidently administer first aid.
