BRICK – Brick Township Police EMS members recently practiced additional skills that will be beneficial in the tactical medicine setting. They started the day with instruction in sports medicine from an athletic trainer, caring for sprains and strains, and getting our officers back in action in the field. This was followed by forcible entry and door breaching. They also practiced advanced medical skills and care across the, barrier (remote care). The course was topped off by final scenarios.
Finally, after nearly nine months, a physical try-out, monthly training and two hands on tactical medical courses and evaluations, the four newest TEMS members are fully deployable and earned their TEMS patches.
Congratulations TEMS members Ricardo Lopez #5321, Jesse Porcelli #5386, Ryan Trapp #53106 and Brianna Wellauer #53134.
