FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST RESPONDERS
Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) is a globally recognised best practice set of guideline and principles for providing medical trauma care in high threat or dynamic environments. It is a near direct correlation on the proven success of the (military) Tactical Combat Casualty Care addressing the 5 leading causes of death from trauma. With adjustments for relevant terminology, response frameworks and explanations specific to civilian environments.
TECC aims to minimize preventable deaths and reduce morbidity by providing care that is practical, effective, and relevant to the tactical, high risk or dynamic setting.
TECC is divided into 2 levels of skill (responders and providers) suited to their role and environment;
1. TECC- Law Enforcement & First Responder (TECC-LEFR) The essential skills for any responder in a dynamic or high risk environments to address the 5 leading causes of death from trauma. No First aid knowledge is required.
2.TECC (Provider) is the advanced application for medics, paramedics and other clinicians to prepare them to operate forward of the ‘Green/ Evacuation Zone’ typical of where normal Ambulance operations will be positioned

It is the penultimate medical trauma preparation for emergency services, industrial Emergency Response Teams (ERT), Emergency Service Officers (ESOs), Security Officers/Guards, Corrections Officers (COs) or any occupation working in a dynamic or high-risk environment or as professional first responders.
