How to Enroll
The application is for our annual "Essentials of Tactical EMS" program. We strongly encourage early enrollment since this is an annual offering and places in the class can fill months in advance. Please do not call to reserve spots in a class; we fill the roster based upon paid registrations as we receive them. If you wish to be added to our e-mailing list, please notify us by e-mail.
Our enrollment guidelines are as follows:
- We accept all levels of training from first responder to emergency physician or surgeon. As a guideline we suggest that you be trained to the level of EMT Basic.
- You must submit a letter of recommendation with your application. You do not have to be a commissioned officer nor be currently assigned to a tactical team, but a bona fide law enforcement or emergency services agency must sponsor you on department letterhead to participate in this training. Applicants from the United States Armed Forces are welcome with a letter from their immediate supervisor or commander.
- You should meet the physical fitness criteria and submit the physical activity readiness form signed by your physician.
- Your fees must be paid in advance.
- You should leave your ego at home. You will not need it for this week of training.
