The Officer Down Rescue Course is designed primarily for police officers and EMS units responding to a downed officer before the SWAT/ERT has been activated. A TEMS course is usually three to five days and covers a broad spectrum of Tactical Medic and Operational Medicine roles and responsibilities while assigned to a SWAT/ERT Unit. The Officer Down Rescue course only deals with one goal – rescuing an officer and applying elements of tactical medicine (Emergency Medical Care) to increase survival.
