clear after the events of September 11, when terrorists took over planes using box
cutters, which is basically a small knife. Also the training shows the officer how
the edged weapon can be used in a self defense situation as an emergency backup weapon
when the primary weapon system is not available.

This 4 hour basic level Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course was developed
from the military Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training. TECC is adapted to
provide non-medical operators with battlefield proven trauma care information and
techniques. This training increases the likelihood of survivability for casualties
of significant trauma due to hostile action, particularly penetrating trauma. This
course has recently been modified and shortened to concentrate on critical information
and skills. Written testing is no longer required and the amount of lecture has been
reduced significantly. The majority of the course is practical application. Students
will be emailed an electronic version of the military TCCC Tactical Combat Casualty
Care Handbook to study prior to the course. This course will include a bandaging system
as well as a tactical tourniquet that each participant can take back from the class.
