EMR Initial – Law Enforcement

Emergency Medical Responders (EMR) in the United States provide initial emergency care first on the scene (police/fire department/search and rescue) and support Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics when they arrive. The skills allowed at this level include taking vital signs, bleeding control, positive pressure ventilation with a bag valve mask, oropharyngeal airway, supplemental oxygen administration, oral suctioning, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), splinting, and assisting in the administration of basic medications such as epinephrine auto-injectors and oral glucose. They are also trained in packaging, moving and transporting patients. Due to the opioid epidemic,[4] EMRs in certain states or regions are also trained and allowed to give Naloxone[5] and utilize supraglottic airways.

Class will begin on January 11, 2022 from 18:00 to 22:00.  Class will be on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for 4 weeks.
