This four-hour course will be an interactive training which enable Police Officers to provide lifesaving techniques to injured persons. Due to the short duration of the class, topics will only involve those that will do the most good in a limited time space and will be serious injuries/illness that are commonly witnessed by police officers. Training will be composed of both lectures, with questions and answers, and minor practicals followed by an instructor demonstration.
OUTLINE:
This course will begin with a brief lesson on common practices when dealing with the Emergency Room and EMS systems. Opioid overdose signs and symptoms will be reviewed with a demonstration in Narcan deployment. We will then go to discuss best practices for preventable trauma related deaths. The instructor will demonstrate the use of tourniquets, pressure bandages, wound packing, and chest seals. If time allows, the instructor will monitor the students as they practice any techniques on themselves and partners.
