Active-shooter situations seem to be happening more and more frequently, which means fire departments need to develop a good, working relationship with police departments, and other EMS agencies.

Jim has been a tactical paramedic for the San Francisco FBI SWAT team since 1999.
He’s the terrorism preparedness coordinator for Alameda County EMS, and he’s also a medical intelligence officer for the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center.
Jim has lectured in over 25 countries on emergency medicine, wilderness rescue and tactical medical operations and has co-written two books.
