Welcome!
There is a widely recognized but little
acknowledged problem threatening emergency medical service
personnel: injury through assault. The frequency of assault on our
EMS providers is alarming. Many EMS providers have anecdotal stories
of how they were attacked by a violent patient, an angry bystander
or upset family member.
While most attacks are not life threatening, the
risks of serious injury is evident and unpredictable. EMS providers
need an effective and reasonable plan on how to avoid an
attack, and also know how to defend themselves once attacked.
Your emergency medical
services staff requires a reasonable, liability-conscious, effective
means of preventing and avoiding assault by patients, their family
or bystanders.
DT4EMS™
is for EMS Providers created by EMS Providers. It is an
organization that teaches EMS Providers to Prevent , Avoid and
Escape an assault. Our DT4EMS™ courses
provide training in Force Response Levels, Legal, Moral and Ethical
Self-Defense as well as documentation training to provide protection
after any use of force. It is important for EMS providers to receive
training in self -defense to keep them from reverting to caveman
style techniques in a violent encounter.
Our Mission
To be the Gold
Standard in Assault Prevention/Avoidance and Escape for EMS
Providers. It is our goal to prevent at least one person, be it
patient or provider from becoming the victim of an assault.
Get Motivated!
DT4EMS™
also strives to provide a high-spirited and stimulating atmosphere for
learning and motivation. Is your agency hosting an event that needs an
inspirational speaker? Want to have some fun and learn useful and
simple techniques for your staff? Then DT4EMS™
is just the thing for you! Topics are generally focused on the safety
and wellbeing of Emergency Service Personnel but can be tailored to
meet additional needs.
We are
available for a number of occasions within a reasonable travel range,
commonly the first hour is free of charge. A moderate fee may be
required for other services. Please contact
us with any questions and/or for more information.
About Us
DT4EMS™ was created by Kip Teitsort a
Paramedic/ Police Officer, and Dr. Aaron Newton M.D. to help with
the ever growing reports of assaults in the field. The courses
offered are designed to have real-world application and be liability
conscious. We stay away from the "Feel Good" type of techniques that
fail in the field.
Kip has been teaching law enforcement defensive
tactics for several years and teaches the Expandable Baton, Ground
Defense, Tactical Folding Knife and Survival Mentality. Kip
also owns and operates the American Hybrid Combat Karate school.
