Tactical Lifesaver - (4-Hour Course) |
|
 |
The primary goal of the Tactical
Lifesaver course is to improve the survivability of accidental and non-accidental life-threatening injuries encountered by law enforcement and corrections officers, with a secondary goal of decreasing liability for the officer's department. The course is not designed to turn officers into medics, but rather teach the time-critical skills that may permit survival long enough for victims to obtain definitive
medical care.
Optional Accessories
Blowout Kit - For an additional charge, The Backup will be providing a convenient, life-saving blowout kit packed with the necessary medical gear to assist you in treating any immediate injuries that demand your attention. The easy-to-carry pouch can be placed in your vest or pocket and carried with you at all times. More Info
