Recent events have made it clear that specialty training in the medical response to a dynamic threat incident such as an Active Shooter is the key to saving lives.  This course also covers the response to Explosives based incidents. This course involves hands on and didactic training.   It is designed for the street medical providers and law enforcement personnel that would first respond to these events, with a concentration on forcing forward urgent medical care to the victims.
