SEMINAR

In recent years, significant emphasis has been placed on collaboration between conventional fire departments, emergency medical services providers, and patrol officers or deputies to deliver warm zone care during active violence incidents. However, what contingencies exist when offender tactics, false reports of additional suspects, limited law enforcement availability, or other "curve balls" result in unreasonable delays in defining where hot zones end and warm zones begin? This presentation will explore contemporary strategies, tactics, and concepts - including the deployment of SWAT medics - to help bridge those gaps. The goal is to facilitate faster hemorrhage control, casualty extraction, and transportation to hospitals in dynamic and unpredictable environments.
