**Have you or your staff ever been threatened,
yelled at or physically assaulted by a patient, upset family member
or bystander?
**Did you know, according to several studies, injuries from
assaults are the number one cause for lost work hours in EMS?
**Have you ever been concerned about the response you or your
provider would use in these particularly stressful incidents?
Most EMS providers can answer yes to at least one of these
questions. If you are among them our Defensive Tactics for Emergency
Medical Services (DT4EMS) courses can help keep you and your staff
safe.
Our training is based on using Good Customer Service at the
root of all course content. We train in using proven verbal skills
before, during and after an incident. Our courses teach the use of
physical force as a last resort, but use real-world skills to free
you or your staff from actual physical assaults should they occur.
Our courses take a four pronged approach, with training in four
specific areas: Mental, Physical, Media and Courtroom.
To be the Gold
Standard in Assault Prevention/Avoidance and Escape for EMS
Providers. It is our goal to prevent at least one person, be it
patient or provider from becoming the victim of an assault.

offered are designed to have real-world application and be liability

fail in the field.
