The Navy Yard massacre in Washington, D.C., the Boston Marathon bombing and lone shooters in Tucson and Newtown have focused attention on the response to changing threats in our society. These tragic events highlight the need to provide patrol offcers with basic TEMS medical training and equipment. Police offcers remain our primary frst responders to active shooter incidents and mass-casualty events. Responding offcers can prevent unnecessary deaths by addressing immediate threats, and then providing emergency care including the application of tourniquets and pressure dressings to prevent hemorrhage, triaging casualties, establishing secure casualty collection points, and coordinating care with existing EMS responders. TEMS is not intended as a replacement for EMS services; rather, it's an operational medical element that complements these resources in order to promote the success and safety of the law enforcement mission. Federal, state and local governments should recognize this need and provide the necessary funding to train and equip police offcers for an effective response to mass casualties. The NTOA, a national non-proft resource and training organization established in 1983 to support law enforcement offcers, was a pioneer in recognizing the contribution that TEMS makes to law enforcement, and remains a leader in TEMS advocacy and training.
