The Special Operations Group of the Emergency Medical Services Division is tasked with supporting our delivery of advanced pre-hospital care during unusual or high risk situations. The Special Operations Group consists of an Advanced Life Support (ALS) Bike Team, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Medics, and Special Event Details. |

The ALS Bike Team permits the delivery of paramedic-level care at venues with limited access to vehicles. Our bicycle-based paramedic teams are capable of maneuvering in crowded venues and rapidly responding to medical emergencies at special events. All ALS Bike Team members undergo specialized training with certification as EMS Cyclists through the International Police Mountain Bike Association. New Castle County EMS has instructor-level personnel on staff, and offers EMS Cyclist training on a scheduled basis. |

The SWAT Medic Team provides medical support to law enforcement tactical teams. Our tactical paramedics are specially trained to deliver advanced life support in during law enforcement special operations missions including hostage rescue, barricaded subjects, dignitary protection details, high risk warrant service, civil disorder and active shooting situations. New Castle County “SWAT Medics” are certified Tactical Paramedics and authorized to utilize special state medical protocols during performance of their missions. | |

New Castle County EMS provides special event medical coverage, or Special Event Details on a contractual basis. Our services include an assessment of the proposed event with a customized medical plan to provide emergency medical response capability to the workers and patrons of small private and large public events. The event medical plan can include deployment of EMS Special Operations resources, such as the all-terrain “Gator” paramedic vehicle, ALS Bike Teams, and MEDCOM vehicle. |

The Medical Command and Mobile Aid Station (MEDCOM) unit is a vehicle specifically designed to support delivery of emergency medical services at major incidents or special events. The MEDCOM unit has a “clinical” area that permits delivery of patient care in a temperature controlled shelter, in addition to a “command” area for coordination of medical operations during an incident or event. The MEDCOM also has features that support EMS operations during multi-casualty incidents. |
Please contact the Emergency Medical Services Division at 302-395-8184 for further information regarding our Special Event Details, and how you could have paramedic coverage at your next event.
