The Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) responds to critical police incidents throughout the SHACOG communities. The CIRT Team trains a minimum of 16 hours per month on a variety of subjects including breaching, firearms, less lethal deployment, hostage situations, officer rescue, and other critical scenarios. |
| The Tactical Medic Team, or TEMS, is a fully integrated portion of the CIRT Team. TEMS currently has 6 members made up of members of Baldwin EMS, Medical Rescue Team South Authority, and Valley Ambulance Authority. TEMS participates in training with the Tactical portion of the CIRT Team on a monthly basis. TEMS members will complete a week long Medical Operator class in September at the National Tactical Officer Association (NTOA) Conference being held in Pittsburgh. |
