Yep. Gotta a few friends that are Tactical Medics. Think a Civie version of a Corpsman. They roll with S.W.A.T. and provide paramedic coverage. They get vests and additional training similar to what the LEOs receive as far as tactics, signals, movement, cover, etc.
IANAL, YMMV, other standard disclaimers, yada, yada, yada, etc, ad nauseum, in infinitum.
