Are you prepared to offer THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORST PLACES while defending your principal?

The Executive Protection & Tactical Medicine Response (EPTMR) is a rigorous two-day, 16-hour course built specifically for current EP specialists and those entering the field. This program goes beyond basic training by teaching and evaluating mission-critical skills through comprehensive instruction and scenario training.

You will develop the integrated capability to combine protective movements, tactical firearm applications, and Tactical Medicine, based on current Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) guidelines. Master essential life-saving techniques like hemorrhage control, airway management, and managing penetrating chest trauma while performing "medicine on the move".

We integrate advanced shooting drills, including Shoot/No-Shoot Drills, with comprehensive threat mitigation and evacuation planning. All training culminates in demanding, rotating, multiple repetition scenarios that combine protection and tactical medicine in principal-centric settings. You will be pushed and evaluated under stress, including force-on-force scenarios.

Don't just protect—dominate the worst-case scenario.

Elevate your professional standards and solidify your integrated protective and medical capabilities. Register for the next EPTMR course today!

Early in Schwarzenegger's administration, aides told the Governor's Protection Dettail to do things like carry luggage. Maria Shriver quickly stepped in. She told everyone—including Arnold—to carry their own bags. A powerful woman who understood boundaries.

A senseless act of terrorisim and targeted violence occurred today in Washington, D.C., leaving two brave members of the West Virginia National Guard shot and critically injured. They now fight for their lives in D.C. hospitals.

Our prayers, unwavering support, and hopes for a full recovery go out to these two heroes, their families, and their fellow Guard members—who, despite this tragedy, continue to stand their post with courage and commitment.

God speed!

Arriving on a chaotic scene, protocols were nonexistent. Ambulance, fire, and police converged as the shooter remained active. Years later, another school shooting. Witnessing the evolution: a higher level of organized response was needed.

In every active shooter attack, there’s one harsh reality: the offender almost always fires first.

Unfortunately, that split-second advantage can’t always be avoided. But it can be shortened.

Preparedness is about collapsing that window. Recognizing pre-incident indicators, making decisions faster under stress, and acting decisively to disrupt the attacker’s momentum are what turn seconds into survival.

At ISTM, our training teaches responders to expect the unexpected and to move without hesitation. Accepting that the first shot may not be yours doesn’t lead to defeat, it builds the discipline to respond faster, smarter, and with precision.

How do you train yourself or your team to stay decisive in those first critical seconds?

She refuses to attend another family funeral because of senseless violence. As the niece of assassinated figures, she understands the need for protection at the highest level. A powerful moment where responsibilities were clearly defined.

Before law enforcement arrives and before sirens fill the air, it’s civilians who make the first life-and-death decisions.

Run, hide, fight, stop the bleeding, or stay with the injured... Those choices happen in seconds, often without training or preparation.

At ISTM, we believe those moments shouldn’t rely on luck or instinct alone. Every community deserves people who know how to act with confidence under pressure. That’s why our civilian courses focus on simple, proven actions that save lives when every second feels longer than it should.

Preparedness doesn't mean being fearful. It means giving ordinary people the tools to make extraordinary choices when it matters most.

If you’ve ever found yourself in an emergency, what was the first thing that went through your mind before help arrived?

Many churches rely on internal safety teams, sometimes with former military or law enforcement, but training levels vary. Is it enough? Are congregations truly prepared to safeguard their facilities and members? A crucial discussion on safety and preparedness.
