IS YOUR TEAM READY?
No TEMS support or ambulance on standby? When seconds matter, is your tactical team prepared to deliver lifesaving care? Our ERT-focused TECC training bridges the gap by equipping officers with critical medical skills until advanced care arrives.
TECC for ERU & Tactical Units
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 Tactical Teams?
-
Tactical teams operate in high-risk environments where immediate medical support may be limited or unavailable.
-
During high-risk warrants, barricaded suspects, and armed confrontations, rapid hemorrhage control can mean the difference between life and death.
-
Traditional first aid does not adequately address the complexities of casualty management during active tactical operations.
-
TECC integrates lifesaving medical interventions with the operational realities of Emergency Response Units (ERU/ERT).
Our training prepares tactical operators to:
-
Deliver lifesaving interventions during Direct Threat, Indirect Threat, and Evacuation Care.
-
Manage critical injuries involving teammates, civilians, or themselves.
-
Apply the MARCH assessment and advanced hemorrhage control techniques.
-
Integrate casualty care with team communication, tactical awareness, and operational priorities.
-
Manage casualties during high-risk deployments through realistic, scenario-based training.
