Mass Casualty Incidents, specifically those involving violent threats, have become more frequent and more dangerous. Current MCI protocols inadequately address certain features of these “all hazards” events.
The Joint Response to Active Threat Events (J-RATE) course is designed to provide Law Enforcement, Fire, and EMS personnel with solutions to such challenges.
Utilizing principles from the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) curriculum, and the Rescue Task Force (RTF) model, participants will learn specialized tactics and techniques to manage scenes in a rapid and integrated fashion.
J-RATE instructors include experienced regional leaders in Tactical Law Enforcement, Fire Service officers, Emergency Medicine, and Tactical EMS. They will provide didactic and scenario-based exercises to deliver cutting-edge concepts in access, casualty assessment, injury management, and patient evacuation.
Medical skills will include ALS and BLS interventions appropriate for all levels of licensure. Law Enforcement attendees will receive a 4-year certification in Law Enforcement First Response and Tactical Casualty Care (LEFR-TCC) through NAEMT.
EMS participants will receive 8 hours of CE approved through the Commission on Accreditation for Pre-hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE).
