Don't you just hate it when your train of thought jumps the tracks??? What were we talking about ??? Oh yeh , the scenerio , okay , perp's dead , 2 officers down . Does the officer hit in the chest have his vest on ? Did he get hit with buckshot , a rifled slug , or maybe he got real lucky and it was birdshot . A dead center hit , even if it didn't get through , could produce internal trauma . We triage both officers , check ABC's , and go from there with appropriate treatment .
Hey Topher , sorry I gave you a bad time ( just in fun ) . It's good you're getting into the scenerios . They're good practice for your thought processes . What I was trying to tell you earlier and probably did a lousy job of it , was that sometimes new people can get too concerned with thier safety and go overboard . Don't fall into that trap . You can't always have PD with you and if you call them too often when they're not really needed , they could become complacent , think it's just another pain in the backside call and take thier time , which would be a really bad thing if you really need them . Over time , you'll develop your personal spidey - sense . That sixth sense that tells you something's not right here . If that happens listen to it , but be aware that sometimes you can't always tell a dangerous scene before you go in . Pts. can and will surprize you at times .
