Ace thanks a lot. That is very similar to what I had in mind. I really do appreciate it.

Our SWAT is refered to as SERT (Special Emergency Response Team). The agency is providing the equipment. But I am the first medic so It is a learning process for me. I know what I like and I am getting with the local EMS director to ensure our equipment works together. The big thing is there...

I will be a the Tactical Medic for my SERT team. I am a Paramedic. I was just trying to get an idea of what is out there for this type of enviroment. I will be going to SWAT school and a tactical medic course. I am sure I will get ideas there but I was just trying to research what was out there.

How much paramedic experience does he have? none.... My point is made.

Im guessing medix? Good news is Atlanta has a pretty decent market for new EMT's best of luck.
