Tac Aide is a class designed to teach you what to do before the first responders arrive. It doesn't matter if you are involved in an active shooter event or some other mass casualty event, EMS won't be entering the scene until it's been cleared. You could be the one providing care until they are on scene. Knowing what to do and what not to do will save lives.
