Over the past several years, active community violence situations have brought attention to how first responders respond. One particular concern is how medical care is provided to victims during the early stages of the response. Usually, law enforcement is the first on the scene, and depending on scene safety considerations, they may be the only responders to provide initial aid to themselves, their partners, other first responders, and civilians. As violence against law enforcement and other first responders continues to increase, research shows that having medical providers near downed officers within seconds of being injured increases the chance of the injured officer surviving the incident.September 23-24, 2025, Dodge City KLETC Regional Site October 14-15, 2025, Hays KLETC Regional Site January 28-29, 2026, Integrity Auditorium May 27-28, 2026, Integrity Auditorium
