Tactical Life Saver BASIC for Law Enforcement

Prior to the arrival of more advanced medical specialists, there is a need for officers to apply the strategies and techniques that have evolved from the specialty of military medicine to save themselves or civilians in the event that they experience a life threatening confrontation. Many of the routine practices in civilian emergency medical training are inappropriate and even dangerous in the tactical environment.
