Assault Prevention / Avoidance and Escape


Check out some of the other comments about our program!

 

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 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 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 Combat Karate school.  Miscellaneous     EMSNetwork News	Upcoming Courses Next class TBA See the courses section for more details.
