This 40-hour course is designed to train individuals to be First Aid/CPR/AED Instructors. The curriculum of this course was structured to comply with the updated Title 22 requirement. This course is POST approved (1010-21796) and reimbursable under plan IV.

This course goes beyond the typical First Aid / CPR course and makes the training specific to Law Enforcement. Subjects in this course include, but are not limited to:

• Automated Electronic Defibrillator
• Law Enforcement integration with EMS personnel
• Psychological emergencies
• Updated bleeding control
• Assisted administration of Epinephrine and Naloxone (Narcan)

There will also be a considerable amount of time spent on the techniques of teaching and adult learning concepts. Each student will demonstrate teaching competency via a teach-back session on the final day of the course. The students will be prepared to develop and present a First Aid/CPR/AED course in the Basic Academy or during in-service training upon graduation.
