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.
About Us

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 techniques that fail in the field. Kip has been teaching
law enforcement defensive tactics for several years. He teaches the
expandable baton, ground defense, Tactical Folding Knife as well as
Survival Mentality. Kip also owns and operates the American Hybrid
