I noticed the officers were working in extreme heat, wearing heavy equipment. This sounds similar to the issues we face when we provide scene rehab to our firefighters. Outside of perhaps a SWAT/tactical environment, has anyone given any thought to law enforcement scene rehab? Do protocols/plans exist anywhere? At the very least, it seems like many of our fire scene protocols could apply -- vital sign monitoring, rehydration, cooling... -Wes Ogilvie, MPA, JD, EMT Austin, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
