In selecting the rescue team, the supervisor should consider experienced personnel, <br />such as Tactical Team Operators and/or former Tactical Team members, Hostage Negotiators <br />and officers who have received Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). In addition, the rescue team <br />should include a Medic or TEMS officer (Tactical Emergency Medicine Support), rescue carriers, <br />cover officers along with officers equipped with less lethal force equipment. <br />Fire and ambulance personnel should be ready to accept injured persons at the <br />termination point of the rescue. <br />USE OF THE MEDEVAC BY OUTSIDE AGENCIES <br />The on -duty supervisor shall approve the use of the MedEvac by outside agencies for <br />emergency purposes. If time allows, at least one on -duty Tactical Team officer shall deploy <br />with the MedEvac, to assist outside agency requests. This may include additional officers who <br />have received training in advanced first aid. The use of the MedEvac by outside agencies for <br />purposes other than emergencies shall be authorized by the Tactical Operations Commander or <br />on call Captain. <br />MEDEVAC STORAGE <br />The MedEvac is a Regional asset. It will be stored primarily at the San Leandro Police <br />Department, or another area designated by the City. If the vehicle is in use and stored by one <br />of the grant partners, the vehicle should be kept in a secured area, when possible. <br />MEDEVAC MAINTENANCE <br />Maintenance of the MedEvac is the responsibility of the Tactical Operations Commander. <br />Officers from the Tactical Operations Team will routinely check the MedEvac and its equipment, <br />including but not limited to ensuring the battery is charged, the trickle charger is attached, the <br />engine will turn over, and that the vehicle is in general working order. When reasonable, the <br />vehicle should be fueled after each use. <br />
