Responding To Injured Parties
EMS have requested we follow the following steps when attending an injured party.
If EMS are available
Check the vitals of the patient - Check for pulse, assess injuries etc.
If they have no pulse, perform CPR (as per EMS First Aid Training)
See if they are responsive - Can they talk and understand you? If so, ask what happened (unless you already know)
Contact EMS - Radio 10 AND /911e to give EMS location. Advise of situation before they arrive.
If performing CPR, continue until EMS arrive and take over.
If EMS are not available
Check the vitals of the patient - Check for pulse, assess injuries etc.
If they have no pulse, perform CPR (as per EMS First Aid Training)
See if they are responsive - Can they talk and understand you? If so, ask what happened (unless you already know)
If they have been shot, stop any bleeding. If they have a neck injury, apply a brace.
Carry/Escort them into a Police Vehicle, and transport them to St Fiacre, where they can check in and receive treatment.
All Police Vehicles should be supplied with a Basic First Aid Kit, which includes supplies to stop bleeding (pack the wound and bandage), bandage basic wounds (antiseptic spray, bandages) and a neck brace for neck injuries.
(These are not physical items, RP these being there!)
