Abstract

Although beginning as medical support to SWAT teams, tactical emergency medical support (TEMS) now encompasses the provision of preventive, urgent, and emergency medical care during high-risk, extended-duration, and mission-driven law enforcement special operations. Recognizing the benefit of medical support in these volatile situations, the National Association of EMS Physicians endorsed the concept of integrating EMS capability into law enforcement special operations in 2001, and TEMS remains an evolving discipline within prehospital medicine.
