Rescue Task Force Training
Be Ready When Every Second Counts
Emergencies in high-threat environments demand immediate action, precise coordination, and unwavering confidence. The Rescue Task Force (RTF) Training is designed to equip police, fire, and EMS personnel with the skills, strategies, and mindset to respond effectively in active shooter incidents and mass casualty events. This comprehensive, scenario-based course prepares first responders to operate seamlessly together, saving lives while prioritizing safety.
What is the Rescue Task Force Training?
The RTF Training bridges the gap between law enforcement, fire, and EMS, providing an integrated approach to responding in high-threat situations. Unlike traditional Tactical EMS, which focuses primarily on responder care, this course teaches personnel how to deliver immediate medical care to victims during active shooter incidents. By combining tactical movements with life-saving interventions, participants learn to navigate hazardous environments and perform their roles efficiently under pressure.
What You’ll Learn
The training includes a multimedia classroom presentation and hands-on exercises led by active-duty firefighters and law enforcement officers with real-world experience in deadly force encounters. Participants gain essential knowledge and skills in tactical movements, team coordination, victim triage, treatment, and evacuation. The course also focuses on medical interventions in high-stress situations, equipping first responders with techniques such as bleeding control and airway management. Additionally, the training emphasizes unified response strategies, fostering seamless communication and collaboration between agencies to ensure effective responses to emergencies.
