Sorry...no cop tactics taught........... Any course I teach anywhere, you have an invitation to attend at no cost to make your informed decision. I offer with sincerity. You are in Indiana....... we have one coming up November 6th and 7th. I will even hook you up with a place to stay. All you...

Come on teachers……teach….. I have noticed while reading and posting on EMS forums around the web more often than not there is an attitude with a lot of the posters. These people with the attitude complain about EMS not being respected as a profession, yet fail to show respect for each other...

That video must be a fake......... because that type of stuff NEVER happens....... (sarcasm) I actually like that clip for a teaching tool. Many issues here...... The guy was amped..........why was it EMS' responsibility to deal with him? The guy was a bystander....... With all of the...

I just may have to take you up on it. PM me and we will see if you can slide into the WTFPD we are training in November.

So, are you suggesting the point of "Good Customer Service" being at the root of an EMS protection program could be used as a scene safety tactic? Heck....... and to think I was crazy for preaching such a thing.......... and NO........it's not coincidence........ I'll bet money on that. :)

OUTSTANDING! Finally an educated non "machismo" response! An attacker is no longer a patient! It is their intent that makes the difference! Just becasue a person is on drugs or alcohol does not negate their criminal activity and force them into being a "patient". Example....... If a person...

I love your comment........ with your permission I would like to use it "Preparing to protect yourself does not equate to preparing to harm someone". That is perfect! Well, I am kinda hard to catch in Missouri anymore...... most of the time I am traveling when I teach. I do have several...

I have tried to research it on the EMS side to see why it may be "ignored". Over the years, the best thing I could come up with is the "overwhelming desire to help people". I think EMS providers are much more brave than Fire and LEO give them credit for......but the very drive that makes fire...

DT4EMS’ “Human Animal Theory” © 2009 Kip Teitsort Is it true a dog can smell fear? Why do bees only sting certain people? Why does a deer stand erect when it hears a twig crack? Do the animals know something is about to happen? Can cows feel a storm coming? When it comes to...

I have had more than one administrator make comments just like some of those previous ones posted………until they attended one of my courses. Now they have made our training mandatory for all staff. I have presented at many local, state and even national conferences and have had people with 20...

We ask agencies make it a policy doors be locked at all times just for the very reason you mentioned. The interesting point you made with your post is "perception". At the time of your incident, you did not preceive a threat of bodily harm to you or your partner. The force you used would be...

Unprepared because many believe that preparing for defending oneself in EMS means smashing them with the O2 bottle or "doing whatever it takes" and "I'll worry about the court later type of mentality" without training. The former medic in Denver.............who is now serving 12 years in...

Like the medic in Denver?
