Innovative EMR Training Series for Law Enforcement Released by Action Training Systems

Action Training Systems is releasing their highly anticipated 25-title Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) series.

The series teaches specifically to the National EMS Education Standards (NEMSES) established by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The series trains emergency medical responders such as law enforcement officers about life-saving skills that are critical to the well-being of the residents of our communities.


As our first responders put their lives on the line, a high degree of training is crucial—not only for the public they serve, but for their own safety as well. Action Training Systems is releasing an interactive series of competency-based courses to prepare our responders for real-life medical emergencies where seconds count.

The National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards (NEMSES) define the minimum competencies required of all EMS personnel. Action Training Systems builds entire innovative training systems that help emergency responders train to NEMSES to ensure they meet this competency level.

This Emergency Medical Responder series covers a wide variety of topics such as primary patient assessment, cardiovascular emergencies, treating head and spine injuries, orthopedic trauma, bleeding control and reviews the new 2010 CPR guidelines.

Action Training Systems uses real EMS personnel to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the skills that are demonstrated. All programs are developed and reviewed by leading subject matter experts.

Responders that train to the EMR standard include law enforcement officers, firefighters, private ambulance, campus response teams and the Coast Guard. Other first-on-scene professionals that often seek this level of training include park rangers, utility workers, teachers, private security, transportation workers, flight attendants, airport personnel, athletic trainers, search and rescue personnel, ski patrol, lifeguards and camp counselors.

Action Training Systems is a multimedia development company and worldwide leader in providing innovative training systems for emergency responders. ATS provides training series for EMS personnel, municipal firefighters and the industrial fire brigades that protect our refineries, energy facilities, chemical plants and manufacturing facilities.

The company provides a dynamic curriculum that includes exceptional video demonstrations on DVD and interactive computer-based training (CBT) programs on the Iluminar Learning Management System (LMS) software platform. Professional trainers find the learning management system helps them verify the students’ proficiency in the course content and boosts first responder confidence at the scene.
