On Monday, August 27th, the Tanque Verde Unified School District (TVUSD) Governing Board took the opportunity to highlight the importance of their emergency training efforts, including Bleeding Control training with ICSAVE, Active Shooter Training with the Pima County Sheriff's Department's School Resource Officers (SRO) Unit, Collaboration with Rural Metro Fire Department and the 'safety sleeves' they received, and the FEMA training their multi-agency team recently attended. The evening concluded with the delivery of 26 free Bleeding Control Kits, purchased with grant money provided by community partner Hudbay Minerals.  Tanque Verde schools are proactively preparing and protecting our children from all manifestations of active violence and are leading the charge when it comes to community resilience!

Santa Cruz County Residents Embrace Community Resilience!

Southern Arizona residents now have 50 more trained and certified immediate responders among their ranks! On Friday, August 24th Santa Cruz County community members came together in Nogales, were trained by Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) and completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these exceptional women and men now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life! A special thank you to the Southeast Arizona Area Health Education Center, Inc. (SEAHEC), for hosting this amazing event.

Drexel Heights Fire District TECC Course Synopsis

This article Drexel Heights Fire District TECC Course Synopsis was formerly published on: the ICSAVE.org blog

For six weeks the Drexel Heights Fire District hosted a National Association of Emergency Medical Technician (NAEMT) Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Course. Sponsored by Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE), the course brought together over 100 active public safety professionals from throughout Pima County. The 16-hour course covered topics designed to decrease preventable death in the tactical situation. Topics included: Hemorrhage control; surgical airway control and needle decompression; strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments; caring for pediatric patients; and techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety. Developed by NAEMT’s Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) Committee, the TECC program is based on the guidelines from the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (Co-TECC) and the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) program. TECC uses lessons learned from our military and applies them to the civilian world of tactical medicine. Thank you to all that attended!

Mesa Public Safety Integration Training

Active violence events have resulted in numerous civilian casualties and captured the attention of the nation. These horrific and calculated acts have dramatically impacted countless individuals and communities by instilling fear that such events can unpredictably occur in urban, suburban, rural and metropolitan areas. Despite evolving threats, many public safety organizations throughout the country have yet to develop response paradigms to meet these challenges. Instructed by members of the Law Enforcement / Fire / EMS Communities, this highly interactive, 2-day mobile training team course (MTT) will deconstruct the nature of these threats as well as offer awareness-level integrated point-of-wound care instruction specifically focused on dynamic active violence, all-hazards and/or explosive threats. This course is specifically targeted for law enforcement and fire / EMS organizations who want to proactively develop integrated response strategies to mitigate the impact a violent mass casualty incident can have on their community. This workshop is recognized by both the Arizona Center for Fire Service Excellence (AzCFSE) and Arizona Peace Officers Standards and Training (AZPOST) Committees.

Eloy Unified School District Safety Symposium a Success!

This particular blog post Eloy Unified School District Safety Symposium a Success! was at first submitted on: http://www.icsave.org

We want to recognize the 152 Eloy Unified School District’s educators, administrators, support personnel and community Civil Air Patrol members who joined us Friday, August 17th to talk about the vitally important subjects of school safety and community resilience! Pinal County is blessed to have exceptional professionals who dedicate their lives to ensuring our children receive a top-notch education, and do so in a safe and secure learning environment. Each day these men and women educate and protect our county’s 100,000 children and do so with distinction! Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) led the discussion, and also provided the participants with lifesaving instruction in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Bleeding Control Interventions.  Civilians need basic training in CPR and Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an ill or injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury or illness, and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all illness, injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these exceptional men and women now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life! All of us at ICSAVE send out a special thank you to the Casa Grande Fire Department, Casa Grande Police Department and Eloy Fire District for assisting us with this vitally important event. From our family to yours, thank you for your service!
