Active Shooter Kits & MCI Packs

Our tactical medical kits and IFAKs are designed for (and by) EMTs, Combat Medics, Tactical Medics, law enforcement professionals and individual patrol officers. 

Our trauma kits are developed with emphasis on stopping the bleed, compactness, rapid access, and versatility. Many can be worn as leg rigs, as IFAKs attached to belts, assault vests or body armor. Crucial components usually included in trauma kits are tourniquets, chest seals, combat gauze, pressure dressings, EMT shears, nitrile gloves and rescue litters. But every crisis situation requires a different response—from bleeding control to airway management, and requires a specific set of trauma supplies. Most medial kits shown on this page can be customized for various specifications and requirements of the agency or operator.

As always, Rescue Essentials was my go-to, and delivered what I needed in time to refresh my first-aid kit before a class I was taking. Rescue Essentials always has the lowest prices, and usually has what I need. I always check them first. And the $4.99 shipping special was much appreciated!

FAQs

Who responds to active shooter events? −
Often, law enforcement is the first to arrive on the scene. SWAT will respond as well, and fire / EMS will aid when it is safe to do so. Training, coordination, and proper equipment are essentials to efficient and effective response.
What kinds of medical kits are carried by first responders or tactical medics in active shooter events or mass casualty incidents? +
Trauma kits or IFAKs are generally the standard protocol. These kits include essential supplies to address life-threatening trauma according to TCCC and MARCH algorithm guidelines. Contents typically include tourniquets, hemostatics, chest seals, wound packing gauze, trauma dressings, airway tools (nasopharyngeal airways for example), shears, hypothermia blankets, and gloves.
Can I customize the contents of a medical kit for my agency? +
Absolutely. Many of our kits are modular and empty packs/ pouches are available, allowing you to add or remove components based on your training, mission or agency requirements. If you would like to build custom kits for your organization or agency, contact us. We’re happy to help with kit design, testing and production to meet your needs.
How can responders protect themselves during an active shooter event? +
Proper training and coordination with their team and other expected responders is essential. Having the right gear and knowing how to use it is also vital, which may include ballistic vests or packs, trauma kits, and other standard tools.
What is a Rescue Task Force? +
Rescue Task Force teams are medical professionals, trained and specialized in entering “warm zones” during scenarios with active threats, such as an active shooter. Their goal is to reach casualties sooner than standard EMS teams would be able to. They often wear ballistic protection and have planned response tactics in coordination with law enforcement and other first responders.
