There were 160 active shooter incidents between 2000 and 2013, with the frequency of incidents increasing annually. Schools' pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and institutions of higher education have accounted for over 24% of these incidents, making schools the second most vulnerable location for an active shooter event. A Tramedic® trauma kit places the necessary equipment in anyone’s hands… so that every life that can be saved will be saved.

There are many reasons why a place of business should be prepared to provide potentially life-saving medical treatment. According to statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, over 45% of active shooter events between 2000 and 2013 occurred in areas of commerce, including businesses open and closed to pedestrian traffic. Whether one person or a mass casualty incident, victims may need immediate medical treatment. With a Tramedic® trauma kit and training, anyone can be a first responder, so that every life that can be saved will be saved.

Training is a key component to an officer being able to confidently and effectively respond in the moment. Equipping individuals with not only quality gear but quality education to use it ultimately saves lives and keeps our communities safer. TacMed offers training videos, e-learning courses, and high- and low- fidelity simulators for the practice of life-saving techniques.
