This book is about protecting our protectors. The men and women, and the agencies they work for, who go out every day and risk their lives to protect and serve the public.The purpose of this book is to highlight the common reasons why liability lawsuits occur with the use of tactical medical responders (Fire, EMS, Police), as well as how to prepare and protect yourself and your department. Good training by qualified instructors, and well thought out, expertly prepared policies and procedures are your best shields against liability. Injuries or other conditions which require medical attention happen all too frequently in public safety situations. Sometimes, this medical need is provided by a medically trained civilian, and sometimes it is a law enforcement officer who has been trained to address these situations. Regardless of who is providing the medical services, there are LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS.We live in a world in which liability must be considered at all times, both civil and criminal. This book is a broad brush attempt to address these concerns so that law enforcement Responders and civilians working for or with law enforcement can avoid getting themselves entangled in a lawsuit of their own.For better or for worse, we live in an era in which it isn’t enough for us to know how to do our jobs, we also need to know how to do our jobs without getting sued. What makes sense for our industries may set us up for liabilities in ways we hadn’t even considered.REVIEWS:"The use of tactical medical responders is something new to the scene. Up until Mr. Di Giorgio’s effort, there wasn’t a good reference manual for departments and responders to look to for guidance. Now there is!" - Lori B. Duff, Esquire"Raffaele crafts the standard of care for tactical medical responders in a manner that crystalizes his knowledge of the subject matter and his proven experience all enfolded within a spectacular sense of humility." -Paul Michael Viollis, Sr. Ph.D.This book is recommended reading by the Anti-Terrorism Accreditation Board (ATAB) as well as the Center for Law Enforcement Technology, Training and Research Inc. (LETTR Inc.), a not-for-profit Corporation.Do yourself a favor. Be bold and take the first concrete step—Download this Book NOW and be proactive in protecting yourself and the agency you work for.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book should be required reading before an agency starts a tactical medicine
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2016

“Legal Considerations For Tactical Medical Responders” is a much needed text that is long overdue. Mr. Di Giorgio‘s background gives him a unique perspective which he has distilled into an easily understood manual that anyone involved in this environment can understand.

The books starts by providing foundational information about types of laws which are in play then goes on to cover everything from individual and agency liabilities to evidence preservation, and everything in between. The breadth of the information covered in this book is really impressive and touches on many areas most people in the tactical medicine community have given superficial consideration to at best and completely overlooked at worst.

The topics are presented in a logical order citations that are not distracting. Information is presented in a way that makes sense to those without a legal background making it easy to read. Mr. Di Giorgio makes use of hypothetical and actual scenarios to illustrate his points and to keep the reader engaged. At the same time, direction is given for finding locally pertinent laws and regulations for those that need that level of detail. These facts make it a book one can follow and benefit from no matter their previous exposure to the legal system.

I HIGHLY recommend that anyone considering or actively working in this field read this book. There are a lot of question that you should have answers for before you are involved in a high profile career such as tactical medicine and this book will help guide you. This is equally true for agencies utilizing these types of specialist.

UPDATE:

The second edition of this book was just released, and it continues to provide much-needed information on a subject that hasn’t received enough attention. There are other texts out there, but they tend to be rebranded chapters from paramedic school texts that fail to provide the depth of information this one does at 3-4 times the cost.

This version expands on the concepts of duty of care and adds a chapter on disasters. These are great additions providing more depth to the text.

This remains the book I recommend to anyone looking to expand or start into this field.

DiGiorgio shines the light on some of the legalities that come with being a Tactical Medical Responder. He correctly states that the TEMS responder is becoming more accepted, but it's still a relatively new concept to many teams.
Often, the desire to serve on a team results in keeping politics to a minimum between agencies and not wanting to "rock the boat", just get on the team and do your job to the best of your ability as the team medic. The team loves having a medic onboard, it's a pretty cool job without a doubt, but are you protected legally?
The problem with this arises when situations go bad.
The law is often not as concerned about your "best intentions" but more on what is the written rule and which side has the legal mojo to swing the opinion of that rule to their side.
A well intentioned but unprotected tactical medic can pay a hefty price.
DiGiorgio provides a guide on what you need to protect yourself legally while you serve your team. For example, he touches on the importance of training, clear MOU's, scope of practice and the reality of where we land on the Good Samaritan laws plus much more.
It's a quick read full of valuable information.
DiGiorgio comes from a place of one who has lived it and it's definitely worth the read.
Highly recommended.

Raffaele DiGiorgio has a rare and unique background that allows him to share his insight and knowledge in how to manage your risk on the job. Always looking out for others, he provides valuable information in order to protect and mitigate the risk for Tactical Medics and all First Responders.

Being in the workers’ compensation industry for many years, I understand how important this information is to make sure these brave men and women are covered in the legal and insurance arena in case of a unforeseen event. The information he offers is presented in a way that makes sense out of a complicated and ever changing environment.

I encourage the investigative community to read this as well for valuable information with regard to your business that may deal with sub-contractors. Thank you Raffaele and I look forward to your next book in your continued quest to bring such important information to the people you hold in such high regard.
