The first aid training specifications are based upon the National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards for Emergency Medical Responder and the recommendations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in conjunction with Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Input from content specialists across Michigan provided valuable information and direction as the training was developed. Module 4 is based on guidelines established by the Committee or Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC)). Introduction to First Aid forms the foundation for the training modules that follow. Throughout the first aid training, make sure the students recognize the ways in which the law enforcement response differs from the civilian EMS response. Students must know basic first aid skills, but once on the job they will be required to use these skills in unique situations and sometimes under extreme stress. Therefore, emphasize safety tactics, proper mindset, and situational awareness when rendering emergency medical care.
