Despite hemorrhage control being a proven life-saving intervention, police constables typically do not receive more than 10–15 minutes of tourniquet instruction during block training. That gap matters. Effective tourniquet use can determine whether a casualty lives or dies.
TECC for Police Services
Course Overview
This 8-hour Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course equips police officers with the critical medical skills needed to save lives during violent and high-risk incidents.
Built specifically for police constables, this course focuses on the leading preventable causes of death in police officers here in Canada. Research suggests uncontrolled hemorrhage and traumatic injuries are the two most common causes of death against police officers while operating within tactical zones of care.
Recognized TECC Educational Partner
Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) is a nationally recognized, evidence-based framework for managing life-threatening trauma in high-risk and operational environments, particularly for law enforcement and public-safety personnel operating prior to EMS access. TECC guidance is developed and maintained by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) through its Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC), which continually reviews medical evidence and operational data to inform best practice. TNT Justice Consultants is a recognized training partner delivering TECC-aligned education tailored to Canadian policing and Special Constable environments, emphasizing lawful, reasonable, and proportionate life-saving interventions, operational realism, and duty-of-care considerations, without providing medical treatment or certification.
All attendees who are successful in the course receive a certificate issued by TNT with a TECC stamp.
Why TECC for Police?
-
Officers are often first on scene during shootings, stabbings, and major trauma
-
Seconds matter when hemorrhage is uncontrolled
-
Traditional first aid does not account for threat environments which Police Constables must address.
-
TECC bridges the gap between policing and emergency medicine
This course trains officers to:
-
Provide lifesaving care under threat
-
Treat teammates, victims, or themselves
-
Maintain tactical awareness while rendering care
-
Sustain life until EMS evacuation is possible
