The TASER has been a vital tool for law enforcement personnel exposed to a potentially life-threatening situation.  Now, the TASER C2 and X26c personal protection devices are available to the general public. It is compact, easy to use and effective from up to 15 feet away — designed to incapacitate an attacker from a distance, before he reaches the intended victim.  This training, designed for civilians, will increase their confidence with and knowledge of the equipment and deployment techniques for TASER weapons.  This course is taught by TASER International Certified Citizen Trainers.

Chemical hemostatic agents and other products have been used for years in military combat medicine and civilian tactical emergency medicine.  Recently, civilian EMS agencies have adopted the use of these products.  This training is for both medical providers, and lay people who may be called upon to use theses products.  All name brand products and techniques for use will be discussed.

Public Safety Fitness Instructor is designed for all public safety personnel and trainers who are interested in fitness.  This course addresses fitness, as well as injury treatment and prevention.  This unique TMI certification course far surpasses many better-known fitness instructor certification courses.

This course is designed to teach EMS personnel how to function both effectively and safely in high-stress situations.  The techniques taught in this course will help EMS personnel follow the first rule of EMS…staying safe!  Knowing how to avoid violence when possible and how to protect yourself when violent confrontations erupt is crucial.  Examples include; approaching a patient on the highway, entering a residence safely, dealing with a domestic dispute, defending yourself against a physical attack, responding to crime scenes / law enforcement scenarios (patient who has been TASERed, excited delirium, active [school] shooter, mass-casualty shooting, riot, terrorism event, etc.).

This course is designed for public safety, EMS, private security guards, loss prevention officers, and civilians who may need to use reasonable and necessary physical force to defend themselves and/or control aggressive combative subjects.  The focus of this training will be learning the appropriate tactics and physical techniques to apply in a use-of-force situation with an unarmed combatant.  This course will not cover the use of chemical sprays, baton techniques or other less-lethal devices.  Practical applications will consist of learning and demonstrating the physical techniques with control and proper form, performing techniques and combinations with a partner and defending against a live attack from a padded assailant.

As the title indicates, at TMI we believe that all EMS providers should have a special skill set, short of TEMS certification, but greater than basic providers.  This is an orientation course for non-TEMS EMS providers, who in the course of their regular duties, may be called to a law-enforcement scene.  This is also an excellent introduction to TEMS, for individuals who would like more information before entering the field.
