** Tac-Med trained 35 emergency service responders in Neptune Township NJ from local police, fire, and EMS departments in Active Shooter response in January 2015.  It was a successful day practicing the rescue team concept.  We incorporated the law enforcement and medical personnel in a joint training exercise intended to simulate an active shooter incident at a local school.  We will be returning to Neptune to provide our Basic Tactical Medicine course to help them develop an active threat response matrix for their township.

** Tac-Med educated multiple police, fire, and EMS agencies in CT Region 4 (Waterford / Groton area) in May 2014 and March 2015.  After training the police officers in the medical aspects of an active shooter response on the first day, they came back during the second day of training for a joint drill with local fire and EMS providers.  It was the first such joint active shooter drills held in that area.  All the providers did a great job working together, and Tac-Med plans to return for future drills to provide continued support and training.
