  • Summary

  • In this episode of MCNEW: Duty. Grit. Grinds, I discuss the story behind establishing the SWAT medic program for our regional team.

    Back in 2012, I was approached to help develop a solution to bridge the gap when our team lost firefighter/paramedics as tactical medics. As a police officer trained in emergency medical skills and certified as an EMT, as well as some advanced firearms and tactics training, I helped by using my training and experience to assist with developing a SWAT medic program using law enforcement officers.

    I underwent specialized training early in the program—from tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) to adding an IV certification to my EMT credentials. Join me as I walk through the experience of helping to build this program.
