Creating a Culture of Safety, Reducing Line of Duty Deaths in America
John Shanks, Acting Senior Director of Development & Law Enforcement Relations, National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
On average we lose a law enforcement officer in a line of duty incident every 54 hours, 120 officers paid the ultimate sacrifice in 2012. Many of our line of duty deaths are preventable. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund conducts on-going research on the causes of line of duty deaths and ways to prevent them. Over the past several years the Memorial Fund began working with several agencies including the National Highway Traffic Administration and the Department of Justice, VALOR program to look at ways to reduce line of duty deaths. Everyone involved realized that to save officers lives and reduce deaths and injuries, we would first have to “Change the Culture” of American law enforcement professionals. In this session we will look at current trends and what we all can do to reduce preventable line of duty deaths.

TEMS - Surviving the X"- Officer Self-Aid and Buddy Care to Get You Off of the "X"
Ken Davidson, Assistant Chief, Second Alarmers Rescue Squad
This presentation will focus heavily on self-applied tourniquet use and other "care under fire" techniques that every Law Enforcement Officer should learn, train, and practice until they are second nature. Unfortunately some wounds that officers sustain when injured in the line of duty are not survivable, that being said there are still numerous officers being killed each year by injuries that if rapidly treated in the field are survivable. The focus of this presentation will be to introduce the concepts and equipment needed to treat these "survivable" wounds with an emphasis on "getting back in the fight" for the purpose of self-preservation and "ending the threat."
1500 EDT
MACTAC: Multiple Assault, Counter Terrorism Action Capabilities
Joe Witty, Officer/SWAT, Los Angeles (CA) Police Department

We did not change any existing Active Shooter Tactics, but we added Small Unit Maneuver Tactics and TTPs that will increase Officer Survivability and increase the rapidity of Police response to an Active Shooter, a Terrorist Attack, or a Hostage Siege incident.
