Toledo Police Tactical Medics - Person Shot Call

On July 27, 2024, Toledo Police responded to Fleet St. for reports of a person shot. Officers located a male in the front yard of the location suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. A Tactical Medic and fellow officers began rendering life-saving aid to the victim. The victim was transported to a local hospital by Toledo Fire and Rescue in serious condition and was treated for his injuries.

The TPD Tactical Medical Team, formed in June 2021, plays a crucial role in high-risk operations by providing immediate medical care in dangerous situations. This specialized unit, comprised of officers who are certified EMTs, is deployed to scenes where there is a high likelihood of serious injury, such as barricades, search warrants, and active shooter situations.

With a core of 13 members, their presence allows for critical medical intervention without waiting for traditional EMS, significantly improving survival rates in life-threatening situations.
