Special Operations

Mission

Our primary mission is to bring good medicine to bad places. Members receive special training so they can provide an expanded scope of pre-hospital emergency medicine where it is needed most; the Point of Wounding. Training is an essential element to accomplishing this mission and therefore has become our secondary mission; training medics to become Unconventional Medics.

The Division provides Operational Medical Support to public safety agencies and the community through the following programs. Each specialized team will work with the law enforcement, fire department or hazmat team responsible for providing that service, and not attempt to provide these services alone.

Cypress Creek Advanced Tactical Team (CCATT)

The CCATT is a team of highly trained paramedic/police officers supporting tactical law enforcement operations at the local, state, and federal levels. Cross training allows the medic to actually be part of the law enforcement team and have advanced medical care immediately available to peace officers and civilians during high-risk operations.

CCATT stands strong and is recognized as a leader in the field of tactical medic training. They offer two Basic courses and one Advanced Tactical Operational Medical Support course to an international audience annually.

Bike Medic Response Team (BMRT)

The BMRT provides rapid response medical support at large scale events, parades, and educational programs in the community. The bike medic significantly reduces response times of conventional EMS and carries enough equipment and supplies to treat anything from a minor injury to a cardiac arrest. All medics are certified EMS Cyclist through the International Police Mountain Bike Association and provide medical support to several events each year.

Three members of the BMRT are certified IPMBA Cyclist Instructors. They provide training for EMS, FIRE, and Police cyclists from across the country. Two of the three are qualified to practice and teach in both EMS and Police disciplines.
